Blue Jackets part ways with head coach Dean Evason, assistant coach Steve McCarthy, name Rick Bowness head coach | Columbus Blue Jackets
Bowness most recently served as the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets from 2022-24, leading the club to back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Playoffswww.nhl.com
Bowness, 70, most recently served as the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets from 2022-24, leading the club to a 98-57-9 record (.625 pct.) in 164 games and back-to-back appearances in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He spent the previous two-plus seasons with the Dallas Stars, compiling a 89-62-25 mark (.577) in 176 games from 2019-22. After being named interim head coach in December 2019, he led the club to the 2020 Stanley Cup Final, where they lost a six-game series to the Tampa Bay Lightning. In his final season in Dallas, he led the Stars to a 46-30-6 mark in 2021-22.
“Rick Bowness is a tremendous coach with invaluable experience and knowledge, and he will bring a steadiness to our team at an important juncture in our season,” said Waddell. “He is a good communicator whose teams play with structure, are sound defensively and we believe he is the right person to bring out the best in our group.”
The Moncton, New Brunswick native has compiled a 310-408-48-37 record (W-L-T-OT) in 803 games as an NHL head coach or interim head coach with the Jets, Stars, Phoenix Coyotes, New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins, including a 187-119-0-34 mark in 340 games between 2019-24. He began his coaching career as a player-coach of the American Hockey League’s Sherbrooke Jets in 1982-83 before joining Winnipeg as an assistant coach from 1984-87. He served as the head coach of the AHL’s Moncton Hawks from 1987-91 and had a 28-game stint as Winnipeg’s interim head coach during the 1988-89 campaign.
He spent the 1991-92 season as head coach of the Bruins, guiding the club to a 36-32-12 record and playoff berth before being named head coach of the expansion Senators in 1992. He led the club for three-plus seasons before joining the Islanders as associate coach in 1996. He was named head coach during that campaign and remained in the position through the 1997-98 season. He then spent six years with the Coyotes from 1999-06, including a stint as interim head coach in 2003-04. Over the next 15 seasons, he served on the coaching staffs of the Vancouver Canucks (2006-13), Lightning (2013-18) and Stars (2018-19).
“I appreciate the opportunity to come to Columbus because it is a good organization with good people and this is a team that I think I can help improve,” said Bowness. “I’m thankful to Don and (Blue Jackets President) Mike Priest and I’m really excited to work with our players and coaching staff to help get us where we want to go.”

WR Noah Rogers (transfer to NC State, transfer to ???)

Alabama finally addresses the wide receiver position after landing a commitment from a former 5-star via the transfer portal
Alabama adds an experienced wide receiver with size in Noah Rogers from the transfer portal, which helps recover from the latest losses on offense.
The Crimson Tide finally has a key addition with Noah Rogers committing, and he provides something it didn’t have on offense.

Alabama has Ryan Williams, Lotzeir Brooks, and Rico Scott returning, but it needed two things that none of those wide receivers offer: size and experience. That’s where Rogers will come in clutch as a much-needed boost on offense at 6-2, 205 pounds. I asked A to Z Sports Alabama writer Rob Gregson why this commitment was so important for Alabama after the rough stretch it’s had.
“Alabama has been slow to address the WR position in the portal despite the sudden and frankly, unexpected departure from Isaiah Horton. Now, the Tide may have very well found its Horton for 2026. Noah Rogers is a former 5-star from the 2023 class, who was once an Ohio State Buckeye before his two years with the NC State Wolfpack. He’s a complementary piece to the serious deep threats that are Lotzeir Brooks and Ryan Williams in the wide receiver room. Totaling over 900 receiving yards and three touchdowns in his two seasons at NC State, this move adds a veteran presence and key depth piece to its WR corps with this commitment.” – Rob Gregson, A to Z Sports Alabama
