With the Florida Panthers off to a slow start, which followed a last place finish in the league last year, the Panthers have decided to make changes to the coaching staff today, as Kevin Dineen was given the pink slip as head coach. Craig Ramsay and Gord Murphy were also let go, meaning there would be a new head coach and new assistant coaches for the remainder of this season, at least. Brian Skrudland and John Madden will be taking over as assistant coaches while Peter Horacheck comes in from the AHL affiliate in San Antonio to take over the head coaching duties on an interim basis. Horacheck had been the Rampage coach for all of a month, as he was previously an assistant coach for Nashville from 2003 until 2013 and before that, he was a head coach in Milwaukee (2002-03 season), Trenton (2001-02 season), and Orlando (1999-2001).
