I also cannot recall ever seeing a really specific breakdown of why Vigneault is bad. It's always vague notions like country club atmosphere, is too hard on the players, doesn't get the players fired up, hates young players, doesn't adjust, defends the loss, changes the lines too much, doesn't change the lines enough, Aaron Rome Aaron Rome Aaron Rome (remember when Burrows was the guy everyone said Vigneault was in love with and should be cut?), etc.
There's never any actual substance to the analysis. There's never any evidence that the posters even know how to explain his systems play, much less point out the flaws. The whole thing just reeks of a hindsight-based tantrum, and an inability to take a nuanced view of a situation.
We had literally 3 full threads going back to early 2012 which contained complete breakdowns and criticism's of AV's system and tactical failings. Tiranis, OrcaSmash, mossey3535 and I think Bleach Clean as well. While I agree that a large amount of criticism of him (and indeed anything) on here was nebulous, unprovable opinion, there was a significant amount of detailed criticism.
