I like the fact that Hartley has really made this team work hard and there's some offensive flash to the game plan. By all accounts he's an outstanding teaching coach for young players.

I mean in theory if you follow what should have been the Edmonton model is that when you have the young kids you bring in a teaching coach, like a Tom Renney who's actually a very good coach who was saddled with a badly built team. Then when your ready to take that next step you bring in the a$$ kicker high demand coach.

I would say that Hartley gets a pass this year and next, but that's going to be his shelf live.
