Let me try:

-Trading known injured players back to back
-Announcing almost signed/traded players which made them look bad when it wasn't consummated
-Fired 4 coaches (including a popular Pat Quinn) in 5 years for not getting further despite a horrible record.
Did I miss some?

Not making any effort to get Glencross signed to an extension (which he would have gladly done). Instead he focused his efforts on trying to land a big fish free agent like Marian Hossa.
Then it all went wrong in Oil Town and Glencross signed a good value deal with the Oilers' biggest rival (where Glencross has developed into one of the best bargain players in the League) and Hossa chose a one-year deal with Detroit over a big-money multi-year offer from the Oilers.
I guess bone-headed moves like that were enough to make Oilers' President Kevin Lowe lose his patience with Oilers' GM Kevin Lowe, and Lowe replaced Lowe with Steve Tambellini less than a month later.
