I think that by the time you get to number three on a list like this, you're into "Someone who had some success but also had flaws," and that to me is Darryl Sutter. I agree with the folks who think that Darryl had a big part in turning the franchise around, and that he made a lot of shrewd moves over the first part of his run that led to our greatest team successes since Fletcher. I also agree with the folks who point to his terrible drafting record, his under-valuing of picks as assets, and his catastrophic exit. For me he makes sense in either this three or four spot, and for me the good slightly outweighs the bad, so I'm voting for him here.
