... The coach is supposed to be the ****ing Boss and it's clear anyone on the bench right now has delegate his authority in between all this political bull****...
I'm old & have read beau coup pro jocks' memoirs (from Ball Four to one of Jeremy Roenick's) and least a couple of them mention how some head coaches pretty much take marching orders from above - either their GM or team owners.
Colitton's own story - "... youngest coach in the league" (hear this EVERY tv broadcast I watch the other club's feed), to not having any NHL level experience, to being Bowman jr's latest, "I'm the smartest guy in the room" maneuver, seems like he for sure could be in that group.
Hawks HAVE to win one of these two road games. They don't & I'm Wirtz jr, I'm on the phone to Babcock. Nothing to lose at that point imho. (And prehistoric as I am age-wise, I can recall old man Halas bypassing his org flow chart calling Ditka.)
Time will tell, of course ...
Go Hawks

Edit - And bringing a "name" HC like Toronto's former one, would be a helluva marketing move - keep butts in those UC seats (least for a while ...)
