John Tortorella should not be the Chicago Blackhawks next head coach

Anders Sorensen's lack of emotion on the bench is likely just one of many reasons he will not have the interim tag lifted from his head coaching title.

However, hiring the recently available John Tortorella's emotional leadership style would not be a good idea either.

Sure, he would be entertaining, but this team does not need his leadership approach.

Much like how other teams have realized his rough around-the-edges management does not work out, at least, in the long run, the Hawks should understand early in the searching process, Torts would not be a fit for them.

Yes, is a successful NHL head coach, but he just is not the type of leader the Hawks need right now.

The Blackhawks need a head coach who can live with young players making mistakes.

Th Hawks need a head coach who can relate to the young talent and also be patient as they go through their growing pains.

They need someone better at relating to the next generation of players coming up. Not a coach who embraces bag skating the team after a terrible night.

Some fans in the older generational demographics think that can be a useful training tool. At the same time, you can’t apply your generation standards to the current group the Hawks will be using to get back to contention.

Gen Z just does not take too kindly to tough love.

Luke Richardson understood that. His problem was he did not have much to work with and did not understand development timelines, such as Connor Bedard focusing on his defensive game, which should have come in say, year three or four.

Plus, when the expectations were raised, his solution to any problem was just to shuffle up the lines.

Sorensen seems to have the same approach, and it is why he is not getting the job full-time.

They need someone who has a philosophy that also meets the traits of the prospects the team has drafted--fast skating, skilled players with high hockey intelligence.

It would be nice if that guy could also guide the franchise through the transition from rebuilding to making the playoffs and then winning the Stanley Cup.

The University of Denver's David Carle seems like the ideal choice in that he has guided that school to a national championship and Team USA to two World Junior titles.

Granted, winning a Stanley Cup is a much bigger challenge than guiding teenagers and young 20-somethings to championships. In a way, that is how the job is going to start for whoever gets this head coaching gig by taking the teenage and early-20s prospects the club has and molding them into productive NHL players.

Tortorella can guide a team to a Stanley Cup but rebuilds are not his strong suit.

Plus, he admitted on his way out the door in Philly that he is not interested in coaching a rebuilding team.

Tortorella is that type of in case of emergency break glass coach. He is good for an organization that is trying to win, but maybe needs a kick a swift in the rear end to get over the hump.

However, even that approach is starting to no longer work. It is one reason Tortorella is now looking for work.
