Beyond the fact that it is highly unlikely we have good enough hockey minds to outcoach an NHL coach (regardless of how bad you think he might be), CP as a medium limits how good of an analysis can be done. I think at most I've seen some people post screenshots of plays and regardless of how good the analysis is, that's just not sufficient to provide quality analysis that proves that GG sucks as a coach.
That's not to say that there isn't good analysis on CP but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Some good internet hockey chat is a long way from claiming we have better NHL coaches on CP than the actual NHL coaches.

You don't have to be smarter than NHL coach to find flaws in NHL's coach system. For example, being as humble as possible about my coaching skills, I can say with sufficient confidence, that GG's slow break outs allow opponents more time to get set. I don't have to be Bowman to figure it out, do I? Now I don't have skills to design a better breakout - well, at best I can only suggest a stretch pass, that surely comes with its own flaws.
It can be probably compared to driver's understanding of how to design a car. Any experienced driver can point out pros and cons of most design and system concepts with his or anyone's car. Designing his own car, and doing it better, than pros, is a different story.
