Jacques Martin will not serve as the Florida Panthers coach next season, the Miami Herald reported early Friday.
Martin has been Florida's general manager and its coach, but the Herald reported on its website that team owner Alan Cohen told season ticket holders Thursday night that Martin's duties would be split. "More than anything, we needed a change as coach," Cohen told the newspaper after the event. "Jacques has done a good job as GM. That's the bottom line."
