Let's not pretend the one playoff year was anything but catching lightning in a bottle and a completely insane ability to fall behind in games only to tie/win them late.

I didn't even dislike him as a coach cause the team was fun to watch, but without question his system was unsustainable for long term success, and the evidence of that is blatantly obvious.
Well for one, Hartely had a non playoff roster all four years he was here. The first two being a lottery roster.
