Good for him.  Getting back with McDermott might be the best thing for him

Starting to wonder if McDermott might have been the real force in Carolina all along.  Since his departure Other than one 11-5 season have we been decent.

He's such a nice character I sure can't begrudge him a paycheck. And you may be exactly right as to who he needs to coach him.

I hope he has a spectacular year, but I'm just glad we didn't snag him. Josh went off his rocker in 2015 and did more than just play out of his mind. Not sure if he has found his way back, maybe McDermott can lead him back home.

Well he took a middling, around .500 team to being an above average team and to two playoff berths in three years(had not been to the playoffs in 17 years prior to this). I wouldn't say he has been lighting the world on fire but it does seem like the team is trending in the right direction. 

In the interim, our franchise has literally fallen apart.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
