When Would be the Time To Fire Phil Housley?

Whenever a team begins to struggle - and I mean, really struggle - one of the first things that many fans will do is call for the team to fire their head coach. It’s understandable; it’s almost always one of the easiest moves to shake things up among a team that’s stagnant or falling hard; it’s certainly easier to fire a coach than to replace half of the team’s struggling players.

But at what point does it really become time to fire the head coach?

I’ll be honest - I don’t have the answer. I don’t think anyone really does.
