Cherry became the coach of the American Hockey Leagues Rochester Americans and won Coach of the Year. The following year, the title of General Manager was added. In his third season behind the bench, Cherry was voted the AHLs Coach of the Year. Boston BruinseditAfter his three year stint in Rochester, he was promoted to the NHL as head coach of the Boston Bruins. The Bruins were coming off a successful run of two Stanley Cups and three first place finishes, but would soon see the exit of superstars Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito. Cherry quickly developed a reputation for being an eccentric, flamboyant coach who strongly encouraged physical play among his players. According to Cherry, he modeled the Bruins playing style after that of his dog, Blue, a feisty bull terrier. While the team had previously been known for Orr and Esposito who were highly skilled scorers, their impending departures had Cherry remake the team with enforcers and grinders which became known as the lunch pail gang or lunch pail A. C. and the Big Bad Bruins. Albeit for a brief slump until Esposito and Carol Vadnais were traded to the New York Rangers for Brad Park and Jean Ratelle, as Esposito disagreed with Cherrys coaching while Park would thrive under it.

Up by a goal with less than three minutes left in the seventh game, the Bruins were called for having too many men on the ice. The Canadiens Guy Lafleur scored the tying goal on the subsequent power play, and ultimately the Canadiens won the game in overtime. Montreal went on to easily defeat the New York Rangers for their fourth straight Cup title. Cherry, who had an uneasy relationship with Bruins General Manager Harry Sinden, was fired by the Bruins afterward. Colorado RockieseditCherry went on to coach the Colorado Rockies the following season. Under his tenure, the Rockies adopted the motto Come to the fights and watch a Rockies game break out and the slogan could be seen on billboards all over Denver in the 1. Cherrys hiring as head coach immediately rejuvenated the ailing franchises fortunes. However, as he later admitted, his outspokenness and feuding with Rockies general manager Ray Miron did not endear Cherry to management. While Cherry did much to motivate the players, goaltending was still the teams weakness as Miron refused to replace Hardy strm, whom Cherry dubbed The Swedish Sieve. Cherry recalled one game where his players had taken ten shots on goal without scoring, but strm then conceded a goal from the opponents first shot and so was yanked from net. Of course, Cherry didnt help things when, after watching defenseman Mike Mc. Ewen ignore him and refuse to come off during a game, he reached over the boards and manhandled Mc. Ewen to the bench.
