On Monday afternoon, Dallas Stars head coach Jim Montgomery addressed the media following the team’s practice in Frisco. He acted as his usual self, cracking jokes with several media members about lineup changes and talking about the team’s preparation for their game against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night.
On Tuesday morning, it was announced that he had been fired by the team and assistant coach Rick Bowness would take over as interim head coach.
And if you’re wondering why this all happened so suddenly, you’re not alone.
What about Montgomery’s track record?
