There's only one coach you fire Knob for.. and they don't have him locked up yet.. or even have permission to talk to.. classique.

What would the narrative be if they just went out and hired Cassidy without interviewing anyone else? I am assuming it would be like in the past, where they get ridiculed for not doing an extensive process and chasing the newest shiny object.
I believe Cassidy is more than likely the shiny Len Thompson they are eager to chomp on, but now that they are in this position, is it not better to cast a net, rather than set one hook? Also, make no mistake, I believe the Oilers fumble farted this one again, and the management continues its run of incompetence since the year 2000.
