I imagine he's very highly regarded but there's lots of factors like money, contract term, etc that a GM has to get the owner to sign off and I'm sure some GM's many simply have a style of play they want their team to play that may not fit with every coach including AV. Treliving for example seems to have the vision of a coach growing with the team rather than a veteran coach doing things his way. Carlyle was the only coach in two searches he interviewed that had a large NHL resume and that was probably on Burke's advice.
