Also, the best replacements are usually not available during the season as they’re already employed. So likely that means we’d have an interim (Cameron?) until the end of the season probably delivering similar game plans.
Making a quick decision now means we could end up with a different coach, but not a coach who’s best long-term, and they won’t fire whoever comes in next for quite a while (unless it’s an interim), so it needs to be a well thought-out choice.

Cameron, not GG, is the one stubbornly throwing Brouwer onto the powerplay. I'd prefer if he kept his single-track mind on the PP and not have it creep into the rest of the team, when we're actually playing pretty decently 5v5. So unless there is a very good candidate immediately available, replacing GG with Cameron would make me want to stab my eyes out watching the games.
Gerard is also similarly to blame, as he is solely responsible for PK duties. Stubbornly throws Stajan and Brouwer out there ad nauseum. Heck, why not use a pair like Bennett and Tkachuk instead? This love affair with Stajan and Brouwer is really trying my patience. I get they are very professional and hard working and good influences..... but get them off the ####ing ice, pronto.
While Glen does do certain things very perplexingly (which has been covered already in this thread so I won't go into it like the special teams) he at least has the team playing respectable at even strength. But I imagine he has a leash the length of this homestand to get things righted or he's done.
