This firing has the same stink that Bob Nicholson saying he believed in Chiarelli’s plan only a couple months (weeks?) before that firing. It makes zero sense that he hadn’t earned a firing over the last stretch, but two bad games suddenly changes things. Why can’t OEG execs have any sort of a plan? How did Katz ever become a billionaire when he hires (and keeps) people like this in his businesses?

Yep - that's the biggest takeaway. Holland, for all his experience in the game just had no plan. If you believe him, he was thinking about contract extensions 6 weeks ago, but a few bad games, and he got to the point where he decided to fire the coach without really doing any homework around it. Despite getting multiple questions on whether he's considering firing Tippett over the last month, he didn't really contemplate it enough to even figure out what other options might look like.
Makes you think that the Calgary game probably WAS a flex point and Koskinen and the team saved his bacon that night, albeit briefly. That's of course idiotic. You should never have the results of a SINGLE GAME determine the direction of the whole franchise.
If Katz is paying attention to any of this with any more intelligence than the most basic fan in the stands, then he should realize just how bad this management is and how it needs to be changed. I mean, was he making major decisions on Rexall based on whether they had a good or bad week of sales?

Thinking about this more, can you imagine some of the conversations over the last few years with Katz?
Nicholson: Well, we fired Pete. I guess we need to figure out who's replacing him. My inclination is just to let Keith have the job, but my people tell me the internet boards are all fired up that we should actually do some kind of job search???
Katz: Well, what are you planning?
Nicholson: Ya know, I don't know. Maybe I can ask a bunch of other GMs what they would do in my shoes? I'm sure that they'll help point me in the right direction!
