It is "armchair" because that is precisely the mentality so many of us armchair observers employ in making these decisions. Prior to this season Girard Gallant had won only two playoff games, and now he is poised to take his team to the second round.
A coach has not won a playoff game until he has. It is pretty myopic to set this one criterion as the measure by which to hire the next head coach.
