Agreed. I believe it is extremely difficult as a fan to attribute results to the coach vs. the players. We just don't know enough to tell if players are doing what they are being coached to do.
But it's a truth in sports that coaches are evaluated on results and are hired to be fired. GG simply dos not have a long track record of success and based on the actions of management, this team is being built to win now. So it's fair to say he will need to deliver an acceptable level of results. Which to me have to include an improved regular season over last year, or barring that, a playoff run.
Without either of those, he is quite likely done IMO.
