Put all his eggs in the Dan Cloutier basket in LA for... reasons. I've never heard anything like the "Fire Crawford" chants in LA. Absolutely bombed there, then Joe Nieuwendyk inexplicably thought it was a good idea to replace Dave Tippett with him. Crawford also bombed in Dallas. I think with the way his last two coaching stints went it will be hard for a team to consider him again.
But in this league Nolan and Tortorella keep on getting jobs so who knows.
