With Eakins it was obvious one month in that he was in way over his head. He didn't "lose the room" because he never had it in the first place. So what did the Oilers do? They let him embarrass himself for another 100 games because patience, young coaches need time, best players have to be the best players etc.
He is not the right guy. The players aren't responding to him. Get rid of him yesterday.
