It doesn't matter one bit at who is going to coach this team,because until this organization provides the coach with better players,this franchise will continue to be a joke.
List of Coaches over the years:
Mactavish
Renney
Quinn
Krueger
Eakins

And on and on.
Mctavish never finished at the bottom of the standings despite some pretty poor rosters. He'd been here for a while though and was probably not a bad decision to go. Quinn showed he was really out of touch with the current NHL and was a bad gamble. Renney took a pretty poor roster overall and actually looked like they were making slow progress. Firing him when they did was a mistake. Kreuger had some good and some bad, but again the roster seemed to improve a bit and he showed some progress, though how much is debatable. New GM came in though and you have to give him the freedom to get a coach that he wants, probably made a mistake in the timing of making that change though. The roster improved both seasons Eakins was here though and the results regressed. That to me screams a coach who isn't getting the job done. Just because there are some problems on the roster doesn't mean you have to put up with a coach who is obviously out of his element. Plenty of teams do more with less. Eakins right now is the biggest problem on the team and he needs to go ASAP before his bumbling sets the team back further. MacT gambled on him and tried to make it work but it's not working, kick him to the curb and make a proven NHL hire for the head coaching position.
