We've finally run through the player grades for the Red Wings' disappointing season. Now it's time to take stock of how things played out and give an overall grade to the folks whose job it is to hire, develop, coach, and deploy the players to get the most out of them and the best results possible.
Today we'll be looking at the coaching. For brevity's sake, the buck stops at Jeff Blashill. If John Torchetti, Doug Houda, Pat Ferschweiler, Chris Chelios, or anybody else Blashill had reign over failed, then that failure belongs to the head coach in charge of their jobs.
