Utah Mammoth's Andre Tourigny Faces Pressure as 2026-27 Season Approaches


Utah Mammoth coach Andre Tourigny is under significant pressure as the 2026-27 season approaches. Despite signing a new multi-year extension in June, the coach's job status is under scrutiny due to the team's inconsistent performance and the short contract extension.

The Mammoth underachieved last season despite finishing in the Top 10 in both goals for and goals against. The team finished just three points better than their inaugural season and fell short of their preseason over/under point total. The Mammoth's playoff fate wasn't decided until the final week of the season amid the Pacific Division pillow fight.

The Mammoth sold veterans Vincent Trocheck and Anders Lee, and added Adam Foote as an assistant coach. The front office is ready to demonstrate progress, plus a short contract extension and a ready-made successor on the bench adds up to Tourigny being a name to watch on the odds board for first coaching change this season.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
