I'm getting to be on board with trying a new coach, but the nagging issue to me is that the new coach would still be inheriting a team with big problems in the lineup.
I also don't like the argument that the team needs something, and that a coach shakeup might be a shakeup that gives us wins. To me that seems intensely desperate. Yes, making big trades at this time is very difficult, while there are so few sellers and so many buyers, but firing shouldn't just be a move you make because you can't wait for the trade deadline.
However I do see enough legit concerns with how Tmac runs his lineups. I'm skeptical that spectators can really be good judges in that, but at the same time the results speak for themselves.
Another issue is the cost. I do believe that Katz would spend whatever it takes, but again the issue is that we don't really know if changing the coach would fix the team. It's easy for us as fans to want to try someone new, but Katz is on the hook for 2 years of Tmac, and would have to pay a big sum for Quennville. I mean man, if Katz did this just to roll a dice, fans here should be applauding him because that's a lot of cash to pay just for an uncertain dice roll.
