You can't treat people the way Hartley did and expect to get any more chances

He coached 12 full seasons in the NHL with only 3 different teams. Averaging 4 years per team is longevity most head coaches would love to have. If he was really that bad, he wouldn't have lasted that long. He holds the franchise records for most games coached for 2 of those franchises, and is second place on the other.
He probably won't coach in the NHL again, but I also don't think he is the type of person to go begging for jobs. Has he even tried to get another NHL position? He was pretty happy to stay in Switzerland before Feaster had to coax him back to try and save is own butt.
Really, what did Hartley do that was so bad, compared to other coaches?
