There’s just no middle ground with Sutter. Things either go great, or they go horrible, and he is unwilling or unable (a little of both, more of the first) to adjust to change the course of the ship. It’s his way or the highway, and it’s 100% on the players, never on the system.
It just looks like the team is pretty much checked out, the core guys know they are here for the long haul, and the coach won’t be. So, they’ll just go through the motions and wait it out.
I don’t honestly see a change coming this year, but if they miss the playoffs, you would have to think Sutter will be gone.
