Right answer, wrong reason. Frequency of coaching changes has not been a problem. Playfair did ok for a rookie but was replaced by a cup winner. Keenan had broken hands Langkow, broken ribs Phaneuf and has to dress a short bench.
Brent implemented change, failed to make the playoffs, lost the room and failed. So many players had sub par years under his watch that neither the team in terms of wins or losses nor the team in terms of asset valuation benefited.
Hartley entered with the team on pins and needles off of 3 non playoff years waiting for Iggy to leave and Kipper to retire.
Hartley reclaimed trade value for Bouw, has seen many players fluorish and has had one of the worst rosters in the league be competitive.
The exasperation with a coaching carousel gave Brent more rope than he deserved and is the answer of nothing. Context and interpretation are more important.
