I think that should be the the goal of any good coach. Babcock is a master of that too. When he does criticize, it's on very general terms, almost never pointing at individuals. McLellan did a lot of pointing out individuals, which was never nice to see, even if it fed the need to hate on a single guy in the moment. You look back and maybe it was satisfying at the time, but you know it was bad now. Like when he was railing on Schultz constantly leading up to him being traded.

100%.
It drove me nuts that McLellan was always throwing his players under the bus. Be a frickin' professional and do that stuff behind closed doors.
I wonder if McLellan gets another shot as a head coach. I'd be pretty hesitant to hire him for that reason alone. It has been 20 years and counting since the Oilers had a head coach that served as a head coach again in the league.

He will absolutely get another job. He's coached 806 NHL games with 434 being wins. You don't win that many games being a crappy coach or by fluke, he just wasn't the right coach for the Oilers unfortunately.

He may get another shot. He's got a long history and NHL teams love a retread...but he's not a good coach. He cost an extremely good San Jose team their chance to win a Cup and he squandered the first four years of McDavid's career.
The guy was blessed to coach some truly great players...and he managed to do zippo with it.
