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

This is just completely false. It is in fact the opposite. I, even as a Monty supporter, stated all of his negatives and weaknesses. Most of this board, including you in your post, only bring up the negatives. Most including you overlook the injuries and shifting roster that didn't stop him from doing the most important thing a coach can do. Win.

I have never claimed Monty was some savant. I thought he was upgradable at that time and I wanted Tom Thibodaux. Being upgradable doesn't make him a bad coach. The way many people talked about Monty you would think any idiot could have gotten this team to perform similarly and that has been proven false.
