Tippett spent six years guiding the Stars after being named the 19th coach in franchise history in May of 2002. He led the club to two Pacific Division titles and five consecutive playoff appearances including a trip to the Western Conference Finals just last season before losing to Detroit in six games.
The team had been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs each of the three years preceding the team's run to West finals but Tippett was rewarded with a contract extension through the 2010-11 season. The club then tripped to a 36-35-11 mark this past year, good for 12th in the West.
The franchise is looking to recover from several missteps taken last season.
He recorded 93 goals and 169 assists for 262 points in 721 NHL games.
