Badger Bob Johnson. 11 straight losses. Team made the playoffs and went on a Cinderella run to the finals. Was a first time NHL head coach but this was his 4th season. He wasn't fired, he resigned. Very different time, very different team, and very different situation. There are coaches for teams and teams for coaches. Johnson was actually the right guy at that time because they needed a teacher, a tactician, and a motivator.
