What a horribly apologetic post.
Let's deal with reality:
ACs didn't sign here, because it's Toronto.
If Toronto wanted another coach, they would have gone after another coach. They believe (embarrasingly enough), that Randy is a great coach.
That's all this is - a gross miscalculation of one coach's abilities, and yet another reminder of how horrendous a market this is to play in.
Right...
So we'll never be getting assistants ever again by that faulty logic. Have what ever opinion you want on RC, But the fact of the matter is he had a job waiting for him in Florida by more than few reports; Which says he is still thought of fairly well in hockey circles. So when targets #1 and #2 did not come available(or don't want to move yet), They decided there could be worse options in what could be another transition year anyway.
I don't see how viewing this way is apologetic. If the guy want isn't there, Then wait.
The bi-product of that though is the situation with the assistants now and the uncertainty if they'll be there if there's a new head coach next season. Not that it's a "horrendous" hockey market or whatever BS you've convince your self of.
