Former Vancouver Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault stood behind the bench for seven seasons, until he was fired after an ugly first round sweep in the 2013 playoffs.
Nobody could have expected that Vancouver would go on to have three head coaches in the following five years. Heck, the front office gave John Tortorella a five-year contract worth $10 million to replace Vigneault. He was fired after one year.
Previous head coach Willie Desjardins would last three years as the Canucks head coach. He took them to the playoffs in year one, but followed it up with 28th and 29th places in the league standings.
