Some are still with their team, and some are not, but all were recognized as the best in their profession the year they won. |
MacLean, Roy and Hartley form a three year stretch where none of the Jack Adam winners are even head coaching an NHL team.
I don't think that people are necessarily saying they didn't deserve the award at the time they received it, just that it doesn't mean much of anything a year or two later. If it was awarded to the best of the best (and they still are the best of the best), then how come none of Tortella, Vigneault, Julien, Tippett, Bylsma, MacLean, Roy or Hartley even made top 10 in voting last year for the award?
