hard disagree, I think if anything they’ve been slow to address bad hires. It just seems impatient because it beggars belief that any franchise could miss so often
I agree. I used to have this same discussion on the Bills forums when Ralph Wilson kept trotting out the whack pack he had Coaching and GMing his teams in the 00s through the drought.
You can easily look at the long list of firings over a somewhat short period of time and point the finger at Terry Pegula for having no patience.
But the quality of the hirings themselves is terrible. Almost all are first timers in their position, and I believe none of them have ascended to the same position in a different organization. Under Housley and Kreuger, the wheels completely fell off.
In every case, it was clear the person was failing/failed, but they were held on too long until there was almost no choice and things got too hot and embarrassing, pretty much forcing their hand. This goes all the way back to the Ruff and Regier dismissals.
Even with all that, Granato is the 10th longest tenured HC in the NHL, and Adams is the 17th longest tenured GM.
