Muller, 48, compiled a record of 80-80-27 during three seasons with Carolina after being named head coach on Nov. 28, 2011. It was his first head coaching position in the NHL.
The Canes reassigned goaltending coach Greg Stefan to the pro scouting department. Assistant Coach Rod Brind’Amour remains part of the coaching staff.
But who will be named head coach. Stay tuned.
