If I was them I would offer the job to Mark Matheson. We've seen time and time again big names coming in to the league and failing. Whether its a failure to adapt to British hockey I'm not sure, but we've seen it 3 times just this season. The guy Nottingham had, the guy MK had, and Barasso all had impressive CVs, but all failed.
And when you look at the two best teams in the country by some distance, you have Andrew Lord and Adam Keefe as head coaches, two guys who played in the league first of all, and then entered their first coaching roles here. Seems to me that that's the way to go.
