General manager Mike Grier says that the San Jose Sharks’ coaching search will be a “long process.”
“We’re just in the early stages of it, going down the interviews, so nothing really to report too much on it," Grier said on Tuesday, after the Sharks won the 2024 NHL draft lottery. "We’ll be thorough and have kind of a long process."
San Jose Hockey Now has learned that the Sharks have interviewed current assistant coach Ryan Warsofsky for their head coach position.
Warsofsky, 36, was on David Quinn's coaching staff the last two seasons, so Grier has a lot of familiarity with him. Warsofsky was also a candidate for the position in the summer of 2022, before Grier opted for Quinn. Over the last two seasons, Warsofsky has run the defense and the penalty kill.
