Sabres Team Report
(Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:37:57 PST)

The coaching world continues to spin. But not for Lindy Ruff.

The Sabres' coach, hired in July 1997, is the longest-tenured coach in the NHL. His tenure is in the spotlight again because a coach was fired in his town. The NFL's Buffalo Bills rid themselves of Dick Jauron.

"I've been more than fortunate," Ruff said. "It's filed somewhere between luck and the overall record, which has been good."

Ruff is 450-340-132 with the Sabres. The wilder numbers come from the coaches who've come and gone since he was hired by Buffalo. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, there have been 148 coaching changes in the NHL and 453 swaps in the NHL, NFL, NBA and MLB combined.

But Ruff sticks with the Sabres, and he figures to for a while.
