The Jack Adams isn't about who is the best coach. Usually it goes to whomever does the best turd polish.

Of the guys who got fired, they all had long tenures with the team and lasted a few years after winning the Jack Adams. MacLean is the only exception. He was gone early into the 2nd season after his win.
I still think the coaches are doing a good job of coaching this young and growing team. If this was a veteran team then we have huge concern but it isn't.
We don't need to find a scapegoat to fire after each loss.
