Does being a ####head motivate players to excel? Because if I had a boss like that I would be out of here before the end of the day.
By all accounts this was not Gulutzan’s personality and that guy was run out of town by Flames fans.

But I hear you. It’s hard to be impressed by many of these guys and I suspect we will see the prototypical coach and GM evolve over time. I feel like it’s happening in other sports.
