Is Mike Sullivan Still a Candidate for Flyers Head Coach After Tortorella’s Departure?
Philadelphia Flyers fans have long speculated that Mike Sullivan might be a leading candidate to take over as head coach if John Tortorella transitioned into a front office role. However, with Tortorella no longer remaining with the organization in any capacity, the question now is whether Sullivan is still a realistic option—particularly if he and the Pittsburgh Penguins decide to part ways.
On a recent episode of the PHLY Flyers Podcast, Bill and Charlie explored Sullivan’s potential fit in Philadelphia, along with other possibilities like Andrew Brunette. The discussion also included thoughts on recent comments made by Sean Couturier about his former coach, John Tortorella.
The episode touched on the broader coaching search and how the Flyers might approach their next hire, considering team dynamics and the existing talent on the roster.
Additionally, there was a look at the draft lottery through a Tankathon spin and other team updates as the Flyers prepare for an important offseason.
As the coaching search continues, names like Sullivan and Brunette will likely remain part of the conversation, especially with changes looming across several NHL franchises.
