He also forgot Zadorov on the powerplay.

While he is in way over his head, I place way more blame with the clueless dolt of a GM/President who felt like extending him for 2 more years.

I don't hate hes going down with the ship this year, the ship was sinking before they set on the ice for game 1.
It is BEYOND fucking ridiculous that he was extended two more years before the season started though. What a mistake, but it's a totally Stan move. Like signing Anisimov sight unseen to that long extension.
This isnt the NFL Stan, where you can just plug in a 30 something as a head coach and have success. The NHL ain't there yet and when they are, Colliton won't be at the front of the line leading the young coaching takeover.

Colliton is baffled by how he puts bread in his toaster and he gets back toast....

I don't really care if it's Colliton this year or not. It doesn't make sense to hire an expensive experienced coach who will ride the vets to maximise points. At least Colliton can learn and become better by coaching more, he is so young. But the extension is kind of hard to swallow. They really don't intend on competing anytime soon? Or was Stan expecting a bidding war for Colliton's services after this year? I guess if the players really love Jeremy and think he helps their progress, he is a good guy to have. Denis Savard served a purpose coaching the Hawks as well. But there was no need to rush re-signing him. Either way, whatever happens this season, no matter if they go 0-56, it's not Colliton's fault. The roster is shit, and even the young guys brought in aren't that good. That's not his fault. Q would not do any better. He'd just fuck up the development of the kids, while still losing. EDIT: I love this picture  |

If they go 0-56, it will be at least part Collitons fault. This roster is shit but non-competent coaching will not only severely limit the growth of the younger players (the only "plus" when suffering through the growing pains of a rebuild) but cause it to regress...you need someone at least competent enough to use the kids in the limited chances they will have to succeed and build confidence.
If they have a REALLY shitty record, like say 10 wins total, how the hell does Stan justify the extension then? Does he have to justify it?
That's the true pain of Colliton's extension...it's a sign that Stan answers only to himself, Rocky has 100 percent confidence in him, and he isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It's absolutely as stupid a time to sign him up for two more years as there could be.

Rocky is never going to find out this team is bad.
He's not going to watch any games, and Stan lumps all advertising losses together with covid.
They'll be lighting cigars and cursing the virus at board meetings. Then they'll flip the page and see how liquor sales are up, and everybody is happy.

He’s the perfect coach for the tank.

Depends on the structure of the extension. Nothing could be guaranteed and it was more of a way to provide Colliton with a sense of job security.

Colliton is a miserable failure as a coach.
This roster is bad...but he exacerbates every weakness this club has. He is absolutely NOT the guy you want in charge of teaching these kids and maximizing their potential.

Team is beyond suck. Whos nametag at front of store doesnt matter.
Fuck the front office. They still had prime years of kane and semi prime of toews... maybe panorama too...nevermind the litany of fucked up trades.

Hey, the Hawks made the playoffs last year...That's Coaching! Let's hope for a pandemic to interrupt play again. Bettman won't draw up a bracket without the Hawks in it. |
