Came across this article on Google, might seem GG is listening to Sutters advice a little to much and letting the players "do it themselves" lol

“One of the things that sticks out is I asked him in 2004, ‘How did you get the team to play that hard?’ ” said Gulutzan, now 45. “I remember that was one of the questions I asked him after their playoff run. I hadn’t seen a team play that hard. And Darryl’s answer, I still remember, was: ‘I didn’t. I didn’t do it.’ He said, ‘Once Jarome and the leadership got on board and together, they looked after it themselves.’ Darryl had the horses hitched to the wagon, and they just ran.

“I can remember him saying, ‘It wasn’t me. It was them. It was on the leadership, it was on the players, and they took hold of it,’ ” continued Calgary’s current bench boss. “And I’ve tried to adopt a little bit of that. You kind of set up the framework, you set up the structure, you set up the passion, you try to bond the team together, and different coaches bond teams together in different ways. But at the end of it, you need to let the players take hold of it and take it where they want to go. I’ve always kept that in my thought process when I’m trying to develop a team.

Here is the difference between Darryl and GG.

Darryl set up the process and then let the players run with it. GG has never set up that process, in fact, his coaching style is the complete opposite of Darryl's. You can't do what Darryl did by looking down at your iPad.
