Why do I see a clash of personalities with Gerard and Chris? I guess because I remember Gallant being a real mouthy chirper when he played and Chris being 3 words above a mute.

cool
he gets results everywhere he goes and is a strong X & Os guy but I really want to understand why he keeps getting fired.

Hold my baby, man.
Awesome. He looks like he screams at babies, but I would love him as the HC.

Looking back at his previous staffs, I see John Madden was an assistant with him in Florida. He’s currently in SJ.
Winder if he could be a possibility if Gallent comes here

He got fired in Florida because Rowe was a power hungry moron and Florida was a mess that had a string of horrible movies like letting Marchessault and Smith go in the expansion draft.
And the new GM in Vegas probably wanted to bring in his own guy and took the first chance he got with the mini losing streak.
sounds like he doesn't know when to bite his tongue when dealing with bosses...which ironically might be what got JD fired
Gallant: I wasn't fired because of analytics

The one certainty as a head coach is that you’ll be fired sooner or later.

yes. he had a 4 year deal so he's still under contract with them. teams will need to do the same to talk to quinn, gorton or JD. coaches get relieved of their duties, it doesn't terminate the contract and the $$ they are owed.
I believe he is still under contract to Vegas even if he was fired. It's a guaranteed contract so even if they can him the contract is still valid. He's still getting paid.
EDIT: Sorry, I see others answered first.

I read somewhere, that stemmed from within here I think, that Gallant was not a data analytics guy. In Vegas he shunned their input from that department. (so essentially, what I see with my eyes kinda guy)

Yeah that had been reported various places. A post just a few above yours has a story though where he says that wasn't the case, so who knows, really.
I think the better question is what did the analytics say about his team at the end of the day...you want everyone to be on the same page. but regardless of what the coach thinks about the analytics, the end result of how the team plays is what matters

Ruff and Trotz did a hell of a good job avoiding it in Nashville and Buffalo but the reaper comes for everyone eventually

And that was from his Florida stint. Apparently the Knights players were not happy when he was fired. I believe it was reported Vegas wanted to go a little more towards analytics and jumped at the chance to get DeBoer
Honestly, that could be something this organization needs. This franchise has pretty much been a country club for years now. We need a little bite to us. Gallant's definitely in my want category
Is texting line combos really "input" or crossing a line? He's the head coach, line combos are his job.

I remember those reports, but I'm pretty sure that when Gallant was fired, Vegas were either the top or one of the top analytics teams.
It never made sense to me then, and it still doesn't ring true.
I think it's more likely that Gallant butts heads with his bosses, and management gets tired of him quickly because of it.

Not really arguing anything, it's literally just what I read.
I'd welcome him with open arms.
