Hard to say how this will turn out. I don't know much of anything about Bill Peters. Not surprised by the decision to hire him though given his roots to southern Alberta.
What i really hope for though - is that if this team has another mediocre season under Bill Peters, we can stop simply blaming the coaching staff for under performance.
While i know it is easier to ship out the coaching staff, and the GG crew gave plenty of reasons to do so, it still feels inadequate to think that is the biggest problem here. And my fear is that this player group will get another season together to show they can put it together under a new coaching staff. Count me as a doubter on that one given how this season ended. Coaching alone does not provide an explanation for this team's exceptionally poor - very Oileresque - performance after the all star break. It was an embarrassment.
