If he hires Darryl Sutter and they miss the playoffs for the next 2 years is that any different than hiring Bill Petey and missing the playoffs 2 straight years.
So then it really comes down to him picking the guy he thinks gives him the best chance of success. And that's the only rationale way he would approach this.
What am I missing?

It is different because if he hires Sutter and they miss he can point back to Sutter's track record as a coach and justify why he thought he could take them to the next level. If he hires Peters and we miss everyone will be asking wtf he was thinking hiring a below .500 coach to take this team to the next level. If he hires D Sutter and we miss he might keep his job, he hires Peters and we stumble out of the gate I think he is gone by Christmas.
