Never liked Wilson, but in retrospect, he did more with less than Todd has. Also, while Wilson may have called out Marleau once or twice, he could at least communicate with his Captain. For a guy who likes to drop the f-bomb every other word, Todd sure couldn't figure out a way to tell JT he was stripping the Captaincy. Nor could he ever define what a rebuild was, or who should captain the team this year.
I think he's a decent coach, but I do think his time with the Sharks should not be viewed as successful by any means. In fact, my worst memories of being a Sharks fan all occurred during the McLellan era. The locker room discord, stripping multiple captaincies, DW/JT spat that TM/LR seemed to be enabling rather than mending. The choke-jobs vs lesser opponents, the no-shows vs Chicago and Vancouver and StLouis, the 1st round bounce vs Anaheim... and of course the last series vs LAK. Instead of physical, tough teams, the Sharks became the softest playoff team in the West. Lots of poor shots, very little hitting, no grit.
Todd McLellan's teams were the most spineless Sharks teams in history with some of the most embarrassing moments both on and off the ice. I can't vote for him, so went with Wilson. Speaking of Wilson, do you guys remember the slot machine Line-o-Matic GIF for how he would set lines? Good times.
