"I don't think it would be fair to put anyone else in this position right now," Anaheim Ducks executive vice president andgeneral manager, and now newly-appointed interimhead coach, Bob Murray saidSunday on a conference call with reporters. Murray a sumed the role after the team announced it . "I felt I needed to be in the trenches," Murray said. "I talked to enough people where I know this is the right move for our organization right now. This is the only way for me to determine what the problems are." Carlyle leaves Murray with a team that has lost seven consecutive games and sits at the bottom of the Pacific division with a 21269 record. "What bothered me the most was the lack of emotion, the lack of pushback," he noted. "This has always been a pride team and it's gone away, it's not there." As we prepare Jose Tena Jersey for our three-game homestand, Bob Murray leads practice - Anaheim ICE. Anaheim Ducks (@AnaheimDucks) The 2014NHL General Manager of the Year, Murrayhas worked in NHL front offices since 1991 but has never taken on the position of head coach before. In fact, he has never coached at any pro level. He said the decision to personallytake over came from the advice he received from other executives. "We've got problems here and they've got to be fixed," said Murray, who wonthe 2007 Stanley Cup with the Ducks. "Some real wise GM's told me 'You should go behind the bench just so you know what coaches go through.' "This is my job and I'm looking forward to finding out what the i sues are." As the long-tenured GM commented on the call, hemust nowfind out if the team currently has players with the proper leadership skills to get the team back on track. "Not everyone has leadership capabilities," Murray insinuated, considering his roster is bolstered by Ryan Getzlaf and Adam Henrique."There are leaders and there are followers. I got too many guys following and I think there should be people leading here.One of the biggest things I have to determine here is if I have people that can do that. I thought we did and I haven't given up on them, but I'm obviously very worried." The Ducks will play their first game with Murray at the helm Feb. 13 at home against Vancouver.He does expectto feel the pre sure when the Canucks come to town. "I think Wednesday night is going to be interesting and I'm sure I'll be very nervous," the first-time bench bo ssaid. "I'll be very focused on watching my players." Joey Gallo Jersey
