Player Discussion Fire Dustin Schwartz

[VeteranPresence]

I love fans thinking they know stuff.

What are the "fans" missing? He seems to be mediocre at his craft at best yet untouchable for the better part of ten years- longer than any other coach or front office person.

Must be his buddy.

There is zero excuse for DS to be here still. Just collecting his $$ while being beyond mediocre. I don't blame him. Who wouldn't want to be a freeloader?

The fans are missing any direct knowledge.

The only knowledge that matters is performance, and Oilers goaltending has never been even consistently average under Schwartz. That's it, that's all the org should care about. If they are using any other factors to determine his suitability for the job they are in the wrong and are making winning even harder on themselves than it already is.

Prepare for a total meltdown when Oilers shore up our goaltending with Schwartz's fav Tristan Jarry.

And what praytell are we missing? An entire decade of substandard goaltending save for one year, and there's the fact that he very likely scouted Jack Campbell. There's no reason to keep this guy.

You must be his ex wife.

Or at least the vitriol is similar.

The guy before Dustin Schwartz held the position for an extremely long time, 6+ years and had no results either. Obviously the team thinks anyone can be the goalie coach since results dont matter

It would be justified.

It would be complete understandable and even with a 50% retention, there's a no chance they're looking that way. There's no Jack Campbell to trade the other way this year.

Why should he keep his job?

It says a lot when Mike Smith actively ignored him.

So you come into the thread, insist there's a valid reason no one but the inside circle knows about for keeping someone objectively bad at their job employed, and then won't offer it. I am guessing there is a relation ITT, but it's not anyone's ex-spouse.

?? No he needs to be fired, he's been here since 2014, there has been a consistent problem here since then....he needs to go, it's very clear.
