Many years ago, a noted sportswriter (I forget who, but it was one of the big names) pointed out that the Jack Adams Award could just as easily be called the ‘coach who will soon get fired’ award. Coaches tend to win the award because their teams overachieve and surprise everyone. Then they stop overachieving, and the coach gets blamed and loses his job.
Considering that, Babcock is probably rather glad that he never won the Jack Adams.
