Except he failed in Columbus and when Maurice took over the Jets, Maurice had a better record with the same core. So ya he's not an NHL coach.
No. He's wasn't as good a coach as Paul Maurice is. He almost certainly still isn't as good a coach as Paul Maurice is, and he might never be as good a coach as Paul Maurice is.
You know who else wasn't as good a coach as Paul Maurice is? Paul Maurice, the first couple of times he head coached! For goodness sake, even the Leafs fired him, and how bad do you have to be that even the Leafs will fire you?!
It's process. You get better with every try. Some get another chance, many don't. I don't know of Noel will ever get another crack at it, but I see no reason why he doesn't deserve it, if somebody wants to hire him.
