I heard the same thing (also from a player's relative), going all the way back to last year. It really surprised me at the time because he's got that friendly media persona, and what was described to me (personality wise, treatment of players, etc.) was not at all what I would have expected.
I have mixed feelings about his firing. 2014-2015 was one hell of a ride, and something I'll never forget, but some of the coaching decision this season, were really frustrating.
Here's to hoping he gets a coaching gig with some other team in the NHL so we won't be deprived of those great quotes :P
