Another way to ask the same question is, "If you don't understand the subject, then he is free from critique?" To which I would respond, "No, but you are probably not in a position to offer any actual criticism."

What I am saying is that any criticism which stems from an inkling or an instinct about how the coach is performing is weak and easily dismissed. If we are unable to identify the intricacies in Sigalet's job performance then we are dependent upon the opinions of expert observers. If there are no published expert opinions one way or the other about Sigalet's handling of Flames goalies, then the default position is that he must be doing something right to remain employed by the Calgary Flames following a coaching change.
