He did come in and coach this team (properly, IMO) until the all-star game, and then he failed to coach them well at all since then.
We aren't talking about Mike Keenan here 
Edit: To make it clear, I am referencing "Uptempo system" as coaching the team properly. He did have this team playing well within an uptempo system for a while, and it seemed to have changed into something horrible. However, he was definitely coaching, not like Keenan who was basically 'hands off' and slotted players according to salary, and had them 'figure stuff out by themselves'. |
That was not how I meant it, that he didn't coach. I meant he let the team play the game they were interested in playing. Then he changed it the year after they got beat by Colorado.
