for the record, i actually think GG is a very good coach. He just lacks swagger and this team needs swagger. And D Sutter has swagger.
At the end of it all - as hard as it might be for some of us to admit it - some people got it and some people dont. Some people inspire confidence. Some people don't. Some people can lead and create an identity and a culture. Some people can't.
From a stats perspective the only thing lacking is special teams. And if they figure that out, they'll go on a tear. But if you watch them, there is something else missing - they can't get up for big games, they hold their sticks too tight, their intergame and intragame energy level is too volatile. Its all symptoms of missing a certain je ne sais quoi. So even if the team makes the playoffs, they won't be able to win with GG.
