It's funny to me to see all these NHL coaches on this board that are better coaches than Q yet they're not coaching in the NHL. Must just be dumb luck that they're not in the NHL coaching.
Q is a two time Stanley Cup winning coach I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing as for lineups. Pirri, Hayes, Kayes, they're not good enough to make the Hawks it's that simple. They can ***** and whine, but at the end of the day it's still up to them to get themselves good enough to make the team.
It's also funny that Q was fired time after time for under performing with other clubs.
The ONLY reason Q lasted is that he close with MCD.
Think most coaches would have had a hard time winning the Cup with the line up the Hawks had recently season in and season out? Of course not.
Let's not forget these fine assistants that Q put into place that NOBODY wanted but him.
The Hawks would have been in the Cup Finals at least 2 more times with ANY TOP CALIBUR NHL coach.
Q is so good that B.Smith (Bowman's right hand) was asked to help him a few seasons back. Sounds like a top notch coach to me. LOL
To even think Q with his night in and night out multiple line changes that nobody understands but him is a Top Notch coach is laughable.
