  1. Excited! Now let’s move forward!! He’s been great with developing the young talent. Now he knows he will be coach and put together his recipe from start to finish.

  2. I think Bannister is fine. I'm sure the Blues organization liked the contract price. I would like to see the Blues get new special teams coaches. We've been at the bottom of the league for a few years, and I do not see anything changing with the current special teams coaches. I truly miss Brad Shaw on the bench. Our power play was amazing then.

  3. While I don't wholeheartedly disagree with this decision. It seems like there could have been more deliberation before coming to this conclusion. I hope the organization isn't taking their cues from the team at Busch Stadium and trying to hire a yes man more than a coach. I'll still give the Blues the benefit of the doubt, but watching what the Cards have done makes me more skeptical.

  4. There's a parallel with when the Chief was brought up from the AHL as an interim coach. Can lightning strike twice? We'll see.

  5. I'm guessing Army figures the teams is a couple years off from being a strong playoff team no need paying a coach high dollars we can just keep Bannister.

    Only reason I like the move is because he knows a lot of the youth, and that can be helpful.. Was still a mistake to dump Berube.

  6. Personally, I like this decision. I get tired of the same veteran coaches being recycled from team to team. I love the idea of brining in some new blood that can better relate to the youth they will have coming up

  7. So many good coaches out there and we keep this clown 🤡. I don't care if u like what i say are not. We need a good coach to work with the kids and teach them the ropes drew not it IMO

  8. Wish the audio was better but I’m glad this topic is done and confirmed. I’m hopefully for everything and trust the process

  9. not having a live because your scared of the chat sums up how bad this organization has become. Mid Franchise with a Mid Coach. SCARED TO BE BOLD.

  10. You see people, no superstar’s, low payroll and now a no name coach. But your ticket prices will most definitely go up. They think you have “sucker” written across your foreheads. Save your hard earned money!
