Rod Brind'Amour Puts His Future in Carolina Into Question

The Jack Adams winning coach has spoken out on his upcoming contract negotiations.

Currently, Rod Brind'Amour is making $1.8 million per year as the Carolina Hurricanes' head coach. While this is life-changing money to most people, he is being quite underpaid relative to other head coaches.

For example, Martin St. Louis of the Montreal Canadiens, who had no prior head coaching experience, got a $3 million per year contract. Newly hired Mike Babcock got $4 million per year in Columbus.

Brind'Amour is entering the final year of his contract and will look to be properly paid by the franchise.

In a recent interview with NCSN, Brind'Amour spoke about what he plans to do for his next contract.

While Brind'Amour acknowledged it will not be an easy negotiation, he also spoke about how he wants to stay with the franchise.

Nonetheless, Brind'Amour deserves to be paid among the best coaches in the NHL as he has coached the Hurricanes to five straight playoff appearances and will look to help them win their second-ever Stanley Cup.
