Help Wanted: Head Coach, Philadelphia Flyers
Job Title:
Head Coach (Professional Scapegoat for Comcast)
Location:
Philadelphia, PA — where patience is thinner than a cheesesteak wrapper and rage is a second language. You’ll find Philadelphia to be a welcoming community — especially if you enjoy being booed at your own home games, receiving unsolicited line-change advice from drunk fans in parking lots, and reading passionate death threats disguised as “constructive criticism” on social media.
Job Description:
The Philadelphia Flyers are seeking a Head Coach desperate enough to lead a team that’s been “rebuilding” since 1975.
Bonus Challenge:
Must inherit the emotional rubble left behind after John Tortorella’s screaming matches with rookie Matvei Michkov — a coaching relationship so toxic it should have its own EPA rating. Applicants should be comfortable picking up the pieces of a teenage superstar’s shattered confidence without openly sobbing.
Responsibilities include:
- Developing young talent without screaming at them until they forget how to skate.
- Installing a system that hides the fact that the goaltender leaks more goals than a bucket made of Swiss cheese.
- Acting like a 10 game losing streak is totally normal and cool.
- Reassuring ownership that benching your best rookie mid-game is, in fact, “part of the process.”
- Navigating a rebuild that’s been ongoing longer than some of the fans have been alive — but this time, for real. Maybe. Probably not.
Requirements:
- Thick enough skin to withstand being booed by a nine-year-old wearing orange face paint.
- Willingness to pretend this isn’t going to end exactly the same way it did for the last seven guys.
Salary:
Technically competitive. Spiritually, soul-crushing.
Benefits:
- Free antacids, every Wednesday.
- Direct access to Matvei Michkov — assuming he doesn’t vanish back to Russia out of sheer self-preservation.
- Opportunity to be remembered forever by Flyers fans. (Mostly for the wrong reasons.)
