Before Dubas/Keefe pressers

And he probably will. But shanahan by all accounts (despite the latest reports) has been a pretty hands off president. So him not firing Keefe and letting the new GM decide is pretty consistent with that notion. I'm sure everyone including Keefe knows the most likely outcome, but shanny has little reason to rush it.

I thought this was just a joke but apparently it's a legit thing that Marek has been suggesting.
Is everyone okay?

If our new GM’s preferred head coach for the upcoming season is Sheldon Keefe, then we’ve made a bad fucking GM hire.
I honestly wanted Keefe gone even more than Dubas.

Shanahan fires Keefe and a new media circus begins.
"He's a control freak." "Will the new GM even have any autonomy if he can't even decide on Keefe?" "He's not as hands off as he lets on" etc.
There's no winning really. Just do what the other teams do. Let the GM decide. Shanny will provide his input on Keefe, they will collaborate and are likely to fire him. But the GM should be part of the process. That's how it works.

I think not firing DD was the anomaly for the Habs

There's two arguments.
1. Coaching decisions are up to the GM.
2. Keefe is a good coach.
Either way, criticizing shanny for not firing him is weird.

Not playing around anymore.
Simple answer is get a GM with huevos mas mas grande than Keefe. That GM was not Dubas.

I wouldn’t keep Keefe, but it’s the GMs decision.
mid anything not firing Keefe is proof Shanny doesn’t interfere.

Perhaps google what I said---the Habs tend to clean house
Savard/Demers in '95
Houle/Vigneault in 2000
Gauthier/interim coach in 2012

Firing GMs doesn’t happen all that often, DD not being let go with Bergevin was the anomaly
