That's a lot of coaches in a short time frame for the Rags if they fire Lavi this year
They always go for the biggest name available.
I went over this after they fired Gallant and I forget what it came out to be, but the last time they had a head coach who wasn't very tenured, other than David Quinn when they were supposed to be rebuilding, I think it was Bryan Trottier way back in 2002. And he didn't even last the whole season.
Renney, Torts, AV, Gallant were all big names when the Rangers hired them. Same with Keenan and a couple of the guys they had in between Keenan and Trottier. Torts was interim head coach there for like a minute in 2000 after they fired I forgot who. Before he took the job in Tampa a year or so later. That's often forgotten about because no one really knew who Torts was back then and I think it was only for like 10 games or something.
They rarely have a rookie head coach or even an experienced but nobody/no name head coach. I don't think they hardly do at all when they're actually actively competing. Just Quinn a few years back when they announced they were blowing it up and rebuilding.
I'm not sure I see Drury outliving Lavi, I think he may also be a goner if they don't win the cup or at least the conference this year.
That's probably why they're supposedly in such a panic right now, wanting to get rid of big names in the middle of the season and do a mid-season shake up.
