So I feel as though it's a loaded question.

For Pittsburgh specifically? 32nd. Literally anyone else would be better in Pittsburgh. It's time for a change, and it's mind boggling that Pittsburgh isn't making one. Coaches have shelf lives - it's just how it works, and his time is way past due in Pittsburgh.

In regards to how good as a coach he is overall? I think he's decent, I would say top 10-15 certainly. Maybe evn 6-10 range - which is what I voted for.

He sucks.

Top 5 active.

This man plays his favorite guys over anyone and doesn't want to give role to a young better players. Hasn't been able to win a round since 2018 despite making it to the playoffs moat of times.

His “system” is brutal. I’ve watched tons of Pens games and it’s awful. Relies too much on Sid to just create magic out of nothing .

One of the most overrated coaches

Good coach it’s just that penguins need a change

What are the tactical elements of this "system"...?

He had a good run, but they gotta switch it up. Could get another job though.
