Does a lame-duck coach actually want to finish it out? I've never heard this concept of coaches having "earned the right to finish it out". Ken Hitchcock got fired midseason in like every job he had.
The quarantine going to Ohio is not long by the way and people are still doing job interviews on zoom, it seems unaffected. Practice time is a problem for everyone but you still find out a lot about the team and what you need to do for next year.
It’s entirely different situations. You can bring up any coach getting fired and I will keep repeating myself.
I would say yes, torts wants to finish it out here. Because he’s not a quitter. If I’m wrong then I would assume he would resign soon.
Knowing you need to move on and hiring a random coach as your next guy is the wrong move. The Preds did it last year with Hynes and they already regret it. Wait until the offseason and do a proper coaching search.
