The problem with any coach firing is I've heard that the only replacement solution they're considering is Gulutzan. Not that there are a ton of other options out there, and I guess I prefer him over Babcock, but if the new coach is just the current assistant then why bother with the change mid-season.

I think part of that is just the same idiots trying to tell you that you shouldn't want the team to do something because they'd have still screwed it up. Like when they say don't worry that we traded the Barzal pick because we wouldn't have picked him (or Chabot or Connor) but instead picked the vanilla Erickson Ek (which is still better than trading for Griffin Reinhart, but I digress).

The team would of course have the ability to hire anyone they wanted to replace Tippett, and probably should have been having real conversations about that for some time including potentially discussions with potential candidates, given how the last two months have gone, and really the last two playoffs too. If they decided to screw it up because it's just change for the sake of change? Well, that's on the GM and a good indication that he should be fired too.

For what it's worth, Gulutzan might be an improvement on Tippett. Hard to say with any certainty, but where this team is at with the level of players on this team? It's hard to believe he could do a lot worse.

Of course, they could always hire Hitchcock again instead..chances are the next 60+ coach we hire will have the winning formula.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
