People have stated their reasons
Doesn’t mean you have to agree with them
But it isn’t about rationalizing the mediocrity
Also just because the majority think he should be fired doesn’t mean he actually should be

How would you determine whether he "actually should be"? This is an opinion poll after all (at least one of the two questions).
There is some revisionist history going on for sure. But I'm also seeing a healthy amount of rationalizing his performance, which from an on ice perspective has been mediocre or worse. Not dissimilar from how some rationalize Gaudreau's performance based on linemates etc.
Like you said earlier, the ownership may not meddle but they certainly would be setting expectations. In thinking about that, I'd say my expectations from that point have not been met. If ownership was looking for a club that consistently made the playoffs they aren't getting that either.
