[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1011698, member: 17987"] I wouldn’t call him a bad coach but he’s certainly not trending the right way at the moment. 39-3 first three seasons… 10-14 since then. I’ve said before that we can (very broadly) evaluate a coach/coaching staff by one simple measure. A good coach will have his team producing an on-field performance that’s more than the sum of its parts. You might say he is able to get his players to over-perform. An average coach will have his team producing pretty much exactly what you’d expect out of the talent at his disposal. Players don’t over-perform but they aren’t really under-performing either. He doesn’t make your team worse but he doesn’t really “elevate” it either. In short you get out what you put in. A bad coach has his team under-performing, where the on-the-field product is worse than the sum of its parts. Players are not put in positions to succeed (and are perhaps set up for failure). So I don’t think LaFleur is a bad coach, but by that measure I’m not convinced he’s a particularly good one either. When he has elite talent, he gets good results. When that talent doesn’t produce (or you take away the elite talent) he looks a lot less special. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad coach but at the moment I’m not particularly convinced that he is a guy who can really “elevate” the players given to him and get out more than he’s been given, basically. And I suspect if we were to fire LaFleur tomorrow (not that we would, of course) there would not be too many teams lining up to replace their current coach with him. Would love for him to prove me wrong of course. [/QUOTE]
