All those negatives yet they finished with 45 wins. People only mention his negatives but look at that roster and the injuries that he overcame and tell me he didn't do a hell of a job. It was rarely pretty but we were trending up. People keep saying that average coaches don't move the w/l meter. How is it that Monty took this team to 45 wins and Gentry took a similar team to 30? I won't knight Monty like he is Phil. I don't know what he could have done with this team but it is strange that an average coach gets replaced with another average coach yet the team plummets.

Not all "average" coaches are created equal. Just because Gentry sucks more than Monty did, that doesn't make Monty a good coach.

2 things here:

You can think the organization was dumb to fire Monty after reports indicated playoffs or bust, that Monty did a nice job, AND still think Monty was mediocre as HC

2015 and 2016 Pels aren't the same team.


It's fascinating- for all the bitching people do after each and every game, all anyone remembers is W/L. No one is talking about Monty dropping games to PHI and NYK (combined 35 wins) in one week that year. Or how home fans were heckling at games. Or his g3 collapse v GS, which had almost everyone ready to run him out of town.

And that's fine- judge based on W/L. But, like Totes said, let's not pretend like this board wasnt the same disaster zone we see now after every loss under Monty. It was and it always will be every time the Pels lose
