It's a shame for Jets fans that the team didn't fire Maurice and get a better head coach. I imagine if they receive better goaltending they will be instantly better but it's hard to overlook just how mediocre a head coach Maurice is. He's coaches 1365 games which is a hell of a long career for a head coach and has a .510 winning percentage so there's ample time and evidence to support that he's the very definition of mediocrity in the coaching fraternity. It's pretty clear that when he's your head coach you are going to hover around .500 so the best a Jets fan could feel is cautious optimism that they may be a little better.
