I'm not advocating firing every coach after every little mistake. But take that win streak away and this team was teetering on the edge and I'd bet Gulutzan was hearing footsteps.
I'd also guess that the lack of qualified replacements is a large part of why Gulutzan is even still here at all.
And finally, its not because he made 'a' mistake, its the nature of that mistake in conjunction with his other issues that have dogged him over the season.
I dont like the idea of just firing coaches for whatever reason, but Gulutzan is hanging by a thread and rookie mistakes like this are rapidly filling up the 'Fire Him' column.

The fact that the team needs crazy win streaks to even stay on the bubble is outrageous. Ok, we're not built fantastically, we're not a legit Cup contender, but we should be solidly in the playoffs.
