The Predators coach talks about job security

With the Nashville Predators on a seven-game losing streak and still sitting in seventh place in the Central Division with a record of 7-15-6, questions are looming over coach Andrew Brunette’s job security.

General manager Barry Despite recently came out in support of Brunette, but for a team with high expectations of having the worst season in franchise history, it’s only natural to wonder if Brunette’s job is in jeopardy.

After the team’s practice at the Centennial Sportsplex on Monday, Brunette commented on whether he feared losing his job.

“I don’t spend much time on it,” Brunette said. “I’m just worried about the present. I worry about doing the best job possible. I’m worried about helping this team.”

Last week, the Predators lost all three games on a road trip through Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. The team’s goal output has been poor all year, but things have looked even worse recently, averaging 1.57 goals per game during their seven-game losing streak.

“I feel like there are certain nights where we left some things on the board. It could be a completely different story if things were different, but we are where we are and all we can do is focus on tomorrow,” Brunette said.

The Predators face the Calgary Flames on Tuesday (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network).

As for his job security, Brunette knows that life as an NHL coach can change quickly.

“In my business we are at the end. It’s like all of us in life, we don’t worry too much about it. If it happens, it happens. When I say that: It is what it is, I’m happy. “For tomorrow’s game I think something will break, hopefully it will break tomorrow.

The 51-year-old brunette was hired by the Predators after the team’s departure from John Hynes in May 2023. Despite made the hire as his first big step as the new general manager.

Last season, Brunette was 47-30-5 and a finalist for the 2024 Jack Adams Award, given annually to the league’s coach of the year.
