No, people are celebrating the fact that a coach who was unable to do the job properly is gone. It's a results oriented business, people get fired all the time. Gulutzan deserves respect for trying, but I'm not gonna feel bad for him that he isn't our coach anymore because he wasn't good enough. His life wasn't turned upside down, he lost a job that he was going to lose next year anyway.
Poor Gulutzan. Has to sit at home getting paid $800,00US looking for a job. I feel just awful for him. I don't know what I would do in his shoes.
Well I do, I'd play some Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2 and cry myself to sleep about how it might take weeks before someone comes calling to offer me another job.
Look, I get it, everyone dreams of having a long Scotty Bowman like career. Some like Bylsma even stumble onto a roster than can make it possible. But Glen has coached four seasons as a head coach in the NHL and another three as an assistant. He has lived the dream already and his career didn't end. He botched his own opportunity, and if he learns from it he has to believe he'll get another swing before he strikes out. He got to coach a group of high character, high skill NHL players last year. It's not as if his stepson decided to murder him.
