No real surprise there, actually. Bob has always been somewhat divisive as a coach. But when he gets buy-in - especially from team leaders - we see what happened last year.
It's an old axiom, but it remains true: coaches are hired to be fired. Even the best of them will eventually lose a room if the team stops having success. Sutter will likely be back on his farm come Christmas. That's just the nature of the beast.
