I remember seeing Jets fans calling for a new coach after Paul Maurice failed to find much success for the last 4-5 years. Now they're a top 5 team with the same coaching staff and basically the same roster.

Oiler fans swore that Eakins was the worst coach of all time and that hiring a "good" coach in Todd McLellan would change things around. The next season they finish 29th, an even worse ranking and they had Connor McDavid as well.

Or how about the great Mike Babcock who finished dead last in 30th despite all the Stanley Cups and finals appearances. Same deal with Claude Julien, terrible now in Montreal after the great run with Boston who by the way, are dominant now with out him. Just tons of examples of how coaching doesn't do much. Others can disagree, but I've already heard all the counter arguments here and I haven't been converted.
If coaching doesn’t do much and doesn’t matter then why do you care if they replace GG?
