Report: Panthers to interview Bob Boughner for head coaching job

Add another name to the list of head coaching candidates in Florida.

San Jose Sharks assistant Bob Boughner will reportedly meet with the Panthers for an interview this week, according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN. The Sharks granted permission to speak to Boughner earlier in May.

Boughner has been with San Jose since 2015, and was part of Pete DeBoer's staff when the team made a Stanley Cup Final appearance last spring.

He previously served as an assistant with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2010-11, with long stints as head coach of the OHL's Windsor Spitfires from 2006-10 and 2011-15 sandwiching that NHL experience.

Boughner joins Michel Therrien, Todd Reirden, and Jim Montgomery as reported candidates for Florida's vacant position.
