[Jiri Hrdina]

Glad Peters is off the table so I don't have to vote for him.
Going Jimmy P here.

[TheScorpion]

Playfair, then Ward, then Gully, then Riser, then Pagé, then Hay, then Gilbert.

[Roof-Daddy]

Risebrough here I think.

[Bingo]

I went Ward.

I'm not overly enthused at the team's middling numbers but his ability to get a group back on track after a strange season hiccup, get results in the standings, and be open to change/other ideas has me at least liking the guy.

Hope he turns into the next Johnson/Hartley, but right now he's a good dude that seems to have the trust of the players.

I had voted Ward last time but a few folks made a good case for Playfair and I changed my mind. Will vote Ward again next time.

[looooob]

hmm might vote Ward, not because he' s necessarily good but he' s incomplete so still has the chance to be good..


the others have proven they essentially weren't

[DeluxeMoustache]

I went Playfair. Due to hulking out in Abbottsford. Just one year here, he didn’t get a good look. He’s like the Sam Bennett of coaches. And Ward put him back on the 4th line.

So I demoted Ward.

Even though he will be top 5 after this season. You’ll see

[JohnnyB]

At this point it's a contest of whose coaching record has the fewest blemishes rather than the most successes. Ward gets my vote again on that basis.

[btimbit]

Would have liked to see Playfair get more than one season, I really liked him.

[The Original FFIV]

While he was no toe Blake, gully at least got this bipolar team into the playoffs one of his two seasons here. And he hasn’t finished below .500 in his career. Accomplished a lot more than others on this list. Don’t know why he’s so low, especially when you look at who he’s up against. If our core had a higher gaf meter, he may have been able to do more.
