Hitchcock has retired and unretired more times than Brett Favre.

I was really hoping for Gully. Hopefully he stays on as an assistant.

They replaced the wrong guy.

Can't believe Chiarelli gets a pass.

They might have Hitch, but there's no giddy-up with the Oil.

As long as that smug, arrogant Kevin Lowe remains with that organization they will always be no good.

Katz will never get rid of him. therefore, E will always = NG.

The Hitchcock experiment will not work. Coaches with one foot in retirement just aren't as successful. Players know he won't be around long. We saw it with Keenan and already a couple times with Hitchcock. Why will the third time in Edmonton be different?
