There was a time when professional athletes took pride in their strength and their ability to overcome adversity. its a profession not a participation ribbon pastime
The fact is, it didn't work here, it didn't look like it was going to work here and he moved on and is doing well in a different situation.
Do I think the Coyotes are going to be a contender soon? no
Is he top 4 here? I don't think so

your thinking is old, perhaps.
I'm glad we're getting past the time when it's not only accepted but expected a coach would be abusive. Someone was supposed to "man up" , play through injuries, sacrifice everything for the team, perhaps end up crippled in later life or with addictions, not deal with mental health issues, etc.
the world evolves. sports should too.
