Why do you guys think Boucher lost the room? I dunno, seems like he's super players' coach. Maybe even too much.
Ok, maybe "lost the room" was too broad and harsh on my part, and not as descriptive as I wanted it to be.
More specifically - I wonder if players have lost confidence in Boucher's "system" to deliver consistent results, and as such, maybe part of the reason this past season was as catastrophic as it was is because there were guys on the team who weren't fully buying in, and Boucher's "system" requires total comitment.
If Boucher changes things up, that could be the refresher needed. Still... I don't know why we didn't at the very least bring in one new assistant coach. Just get a guy who is a special-teams specialist. One more assistant coach isn't going to bankrupt the franchise.
I'll also say this - just my opinion here, but Boucher staying doesn't fill me with a ton of confidence in Karlsson staying. I don't know why. Just a bad feeling.
