The Blues have fired head coach Andy Murray this morning. Davis Payne, who was the head coach of the Peoria Rivermen, has been named the interim head coach.
Here’s the press release from the Blues . . .
ST. LOUIS - St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced Saturday that the club has named Davis Payne as Interim Head Coach. Payne becomes the 23rd coach in the history of the St. Louis Blues replacing Andy Murray, who was relieved of his duties.
“Davis is very knowledgeable of the players in our organization and we feel he is the best candidate to coach our team,” said Davidson. “He has nine winning seasons at the minor league level which includes an ECHL Championship in 2006.
“I would like to thank Andy Murray for the job he has done here the past four seasons,” continued Davidson. “He was an intergral part in turning the St. Louis Blues around. He is a true professional and I wish him the best of luck in the future.”
God only knows what we will get in Davis Payne. He's an organization guy, I guess, but then so was Mike Kitchen.
We shall see, and right away as we've got the HAwks tonight.
