I'm sorry, but this is a ridiculous reason for hiring any coach. The GM should never make his decisions on the basis of what will make fans feel better. He makes decisions on what he believes is best for the team, and will result in an improved on-ice performance and results. Whether or not you agree that Bill Peters is a good coach, Treliving most certainly did the right thing to hire the coach he believes in.
