When the Dallas Stars parted ways with Glen Gulutzan, there was a lot of discussion about who the best candidate for the job was as the soon to be 7th head coach for the franchise since 1993. And no candidate was more polarizing than Lindy Ruff.
You can't blame fans too much. In 1999, Lindy Ruff was the gorgon eyes of Medusa. The Terminator sequels to our James Cameron.
But Jim Nill made the move, and the rest was questionably executed history in the eyes of the critics.
Hiring so many coaches in such a short time span feels disruptive.
