I feel like it’s the opposite. I wouldn’t bet my life on any of those coaches winning. I just don’t think any of those coaches are big difference makers. Same for the majority of coaches. Quality of team, quality of opponent, chance, a big save here or there, etc, and the same coaches can have wildly different records.
I mean, the “proven” coaches we want have all been fired, many pretty unceremoniously. Coaches that have never had success suddenly do. Guys like Hartley who have a ring are shut out of the league.
Gallant’s teams have done pretty well without him. Almost seamlessly. This suggests that maybe he wasn’t as responsible as we thought.
