We'd be better off with prison bars in net than what we have.

Dustin Schwartz is the worst goaltending coach in the entire league. Bar none.

Oh no, the media people have all assured me that every goalie has had CAREER best season with the oilers under his tutelage. They seem to ignore the fact those career best seasons are typically in their first season or two with the team, and then in season 3 and beyond, they all mysteriously have their numbers tank and start having similar habits present in their game (allowing goal on first five shots against, weak glove hands)

I swear Schwartz has to be the luckiest man on the team! But we’ve seen this before when new coaches were brought in but then assistant coaches Kelly Buchberger and Steve Smith were never fired because the GM at the time Kevin Lowe would not fire members of the old boys club! We’re seeing this again with Schwartz and the appointment of Paul Coffey as an assistant coach!

All I know is they should hire Sean Burke & give him any job title they have to for it to be a big promotion that Vegas can't stop.

It doesn't work that way.
If Burke is under contract Vegas can stop him from going to any other team. Period.
Generally, a team will allow someone to move to another team if it's an obvious promotion - that is they'll allow an assistant coach to become a head coach somewhere else. But that's purely as a courtesy.

Pretty much to do that we'd have to create a supreme chancellor of goaltending as he's already top of the pile in Vegas.

If we're going to shit on the guy when our goalies suck, maybe we should give him a tiny bit of credit when they play well?

You thrust your pelvis, huh!
Like most things with the team, their worth will be revealed in the playoffs. Schwartz is no different.

A true GOAT in the Oilers franchise.
He will no longer take the credit of shitty goalies on the decline he was saddled with years prior!
First name on the cup.

Not only that, but whatever Skinner's status is should be how we judge Schwartz too, since Skinner is the only goalie we've had that Schwartz has developed.
Although we can ask why Campbell couldn't bounce back. Maybe it's on Campbell but it's still a fair question to put on Schwartz too
On a more serious note, Schwartz was a goaltending consultant for the Oil Kings during the Memorial Cup win in 2014. He's probably a lot smarter coach than we (and I) would like to give him credit for.

Attacking Schwartz was just a means to vent frustration.
He was an easy target.

Gregor had it right. The ppl calling for his head were ridiculous and irrational
