Given the current climate of the NHL, it's easy to understand fans' frustration with their respective team's coaching staff when struggles arise.
For Coyotes fans, such reaction has been more common in recent weeks. With the Coyotes having won just two of their last 11 games, a faction of people has emerged who wonder whether the Coyotes might do what eight other NHL teams have done this season — fire their head coach.
The answer from Coyotes President of Hockey Operations and General Manager John Chayka is a resounding "no," affirming a previous statement to The Athletic that Coyotes head coach Rick Tocchet will return for the final year of his contract in 2020-21.
