Today in NYR History August 22, 1977:
Jean-Guy Talbot becomes the 16th head coach in Rangers history.
Talbot took over from John Ferguson, , who steps away to concentrate on his role as general manager. As coach of the Rangers, Talbot was known for wearing a warm-up suit behind the bench during games, rather than the normal business suit worn by most coaches. Talbot, a target of fans ire only lasted 1 season as coach of the Rangers in 1977-78 although he gets the Rangers into the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in three seasons.
He and Ferguson are fired in June 1978 and replaced by Fred Shero.
