The reality is that Cronin is 100% coming back next season.

And it’s going to be another rough year IMO with a bad coaching staff and a lot of young guys still cutting their teeth.

I’m bullish about the year after next though. Let’s see if Verbeek can improve the roster
 
Mac is definitely captain material at some point

Call it what you want but I love the emotion.

Dude. I cannot deal with the idea of seeing Cronin again next year

The guys ‘cutting their teeth’ will have their development hampered by this wonderful coaching staff.

Enough is enough

and our goalies will keep us afloat for a good chunk of the season, then when they start to come to Earth Pat will finally admit his mistake and fire Cronin but it'll be too late and we'll miss the playoffs again.
 
I normally don't get too worked up about coaches, like Boudreau annoyed me but I never hated him. Cronin annoys me but I don't hate the man. But Rich Clune, every time they say his name on the broadcast and I'm not expecting it I make a disgusted sound. I HATE that guy. He got a job by selling himself to PV through Cronin. He doesn't know how to do anything! He didn't score jack shit when he played, f***ing howdy-doody ass looking son of a bitch.

If you're going to Glengarry your way into a job AT LEAST HAVE A PLAN WHEN YOU GET THERE. God damn.
 
On what facts are you basing this?
He’s under contract and the team “improved” by 21 points year over year. It doesn’t take a genius to glean that he’s likely to return and then can be canned mid season or next summer. Verbeek hired him too

Obviously stating 100% is me being cynical/exaggerating, but it’s like 85%-90% in reality
 
I don’t know how you can say it’s more likely than not that Cronin doesn’t return - Verbeek has a ton of counting stats to point to

Because I was told this man was at least receptive to the idea of analytics (actually looks like he's expanded the department), and those...well, let's just say they don't paint the best picture of Cronin's job performance.
