I'm referring to D Sutter specifically. He's not Scotty Bowman, never was, isn't coming back and if he did, would not be as successful as people think.
Discussing why a coach was let go is fine but even then, I recall TONS of people saying Hartley was a bad coach who caught lightning in a bottle and his teams were going to regress hard due to our terrible team defence. .

Since you brought up Darryl Sutter, I will object to the minimizing of his achievements.
I haven't seen anyone equating Sutter to Bowman so that is a silly strawman. Sutter was a great coach for every organization he was with. HHOF worthy IMO but the criteria for admitting coaches seems entirely inconsistent.
