IMO, 2-2/7-10, and a tie for 6/7 place in the HL does not vindicate a HC who was 0.294 in HL play over 10 years, and 0.125 last year.
I hope Jerry goes out with a bang. I actually think we'll make either the CIT or CBI tournaments after finishing about 0.500 in league play. I think they may even reach the quarterfinals in the Motor City Madness tournament. It would finish his HC career on a positive note.
Let's just not pretend the last 10 years were anything other than what they were.....that's known as delusion. Even the current record/RPI/standing would be worthy of dismissal of a HC if ongoing in most HL programs.
