OverDrive · Sullivan on the Marlies' head coach position, his role and the progression of the team · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

Feeling great.

Really, really excited about this opportunity.

So thanks for having me on.

Yeah, it was a long process, obviously, you know, as soon as the season ended or even before the, you know, the season ended with, you know, Brad Treliving being let go.

We knew, obviously, there was going to be some changes coming down the path and, you know, and then Don Chaka gets hired and then,

Um, you know, Craig gets relieved of his duties and then we were just in, in, in kind of in limbo waiting to see what was going to happen.

So, uh, John Shiger was really good.

I was able to, um, interview, uh, for the head coaching position with the Leafs.

Um, and that kind of just sparked, um, you know, a little bit of a different than a perspective for me in regards to, you know, you're just looking at one area of the game.

You're looking at the power play and offensive game and, and,

Having to do a deep dive of a whole team and what we were all about and trying to present that to John and to Matt and Ryan Hardy and just going through that process.

Obviously, I wasn't offered the job or on to the next round, but it just kind of sparked the fact.

that this was exciting for me and just progressed from there.

And then John and I obviously have a history together back in Arizona, me being his assistant GM for four or five years.

So we've got a relationship.

So we just talked about staying in the organization.

If it was not with the new coach who ended up being Jim Hiller, who I interviewed with,

If not, then maybe the spot with the Marlies would be the next progression for it.

And I was excited about it.

Obviously, if you look at the NHL, you look at the coaches that are there, out of 32 of them, only five have zero head coach experience before getting that job.
