I dont know what the 'One Month' is supposed to mean because GG is rapidly closing in on two full seasons. If the team cant grasp his beloved system after 2 years then maybe its just too complicated or maybe the system itself is just total crap.

Well I'd prefer to not have another start like 2016 where we went 5-10-1 because of a new coach. We almost missed the playoffs that season because of that poor start.
I also disagree with the notion that the players didn't grasp the season because after a horrid 5-10-1 start, the team went 40-23-3 afterwards to comfortably make the playoffs. Also not losing in regulation after 50+ games is also pretty damn impressive and appears pretty mentally tough to me.
This season they've underachieved and it may cost the coach his job. But obviously my concern would be mainly that the team takes a step back or we start off terribly again which could easily happen.
