Now that the San Jose Sharks have fired head coach David Quinn, they are in the process of searching for a new leader on the bench. Given that the team struggled this season and will likely continue to do so for multiple seasons to come, hiring the right coach will be tricky. But for general manager Mike Grier, it will be essential to keeping his job. He has a chance to revitalize the Sharks, but he won’t get many more such opportunities after this one.
