This thread was created in response to maybe... two or three straight disappointing games from the Flames? Sample size is key here.

Your opinion, I however consider it ironic to call someone that has never accomplished anything at the NHL level (unless .500 hockey is an accomplishment I suppose) and has shown no signs of taking this team to the next level a great coach.
It is pretty ironic that someone calling him a great coach with nothing to back that up is calling someone looking for him to be fired for being awful a "knee jerk reaction".
I think that is the problem you are having, you see two or three disappointing games, most of us see far more (Smith has covered up a lot of problems this year) not to mention a very lackluster last season with him as coach. You are of course entitled to your opinion, I just wouldn't be so quick to call out others for knee jerk reactions when your claims are as you admitted, opinions.
