Is this the second Jets coach in a row to fire himself?

I used to call him Rick lowness with the islanders. Those were such dark times alot of us hated everyone and everything about the islanders

Rick is the man wishing him a happy retirement

If I were Craig I’d go after this team since they’d give him the best shot at a cup

Sounds like a job for Sheldon Keefe

Time for a fresh start behind the bench for the Jets.

New coaching can sometimes bring a fresh perspective.

Hope he wins the Jack Adams award for his time.

Dang, jets slay another legend

I kinda figured this was gonna happen. Both him and his wife had health issues this year that caused him to miss time. Sometimes you just gotta hang ‘em up. He seemed like a very well liked coach.

I think Sheldon Keefe might be available

At 69, niceeeee

what was the issue in the playoffs? Jets got steam rolled this year and cracked mentally when the going got tough. Very odd considering how well they played all year

I saw Rick once at the Stadium Skytrain station in Vancouver, I think it was back in ‘07 when he was an assistant. Anyway, I recognized his face but couldn’t place where I knew him. He was well dressed and probably saw I was staring so he gave me a smile and nod and kept on walking. I realized a few days later watching the game who he was. That stuck with me all these years for some reason.

Jay Woodcroft to Winnipeg?!?!?

I heard Sheldon keefe is looking for a job

Aw Bones! Such a total class act. Deserves the very best retirement. ❤

That’s a long time. I remember when he played. I’m getting up there. Interesting he retired as a player from the Jets 1.0, and as a coach from Jets 2.0

So Mike Babcock. It may not have worked in the east with the leafs and blue jackets but it worked when Detroit was on the west and the jets are IN THE WEST
I think the jets need to give it a go

As much as I hope we hire someone from outside the organization, I would put my life savings on them just giving the assistant coach a promotion.

So do the leafs

Another coach gone due to the cancerous Scheifele

How long will it last?

Congrats to him! Wonder who’ll replace him. Feel like Gallant would be a fit?

Too bad they got hit by an avalanche. You did good sir, enjoy your golden years!

Time to get Coach Q back behind a bench

After the year he had, nobody can blame him.

Farewell Rick, enjoy your retirement.
38 seasons is insane
they’ll probably promote Arniel to HC
farewell Bones
Enjoy your time, Bones. You’ve earned it
They should ask Sheldon Keefe
Good guy, decent coach, poor playoff performer

Did Bowness ever win the cup?
Congrats Rick, you’ve certainly earned it! 💚
