LA also won the cup the year they fired Murray and hired Darryl. Back in the 90s and early 2000s Lou Lamoriello mowed through a ton of coaches while they won 3 cups with a different coach each time (and others in between the wins).
Stability is definitely an approach that a lot of good teams take, but so is replacing a guy when an upgrade is available, or when things just aren't working out.

Yeah loser organizations also hang onto bad coaches and GM’s too long. Cincinnati Bengals anyone? Houston Texans?
What defines loser organizations is the inability to hire the right person.
