It kind of bothers me how everyone points to his record with the leafs (.678 is pretty impressive) but I can't help but wonder how literally anyone would fare with the rosters we've had. I feel like a potato could coach these guys to a winning record. Is Keefe special? I'm not convinced.

New GM's always keep the old coach as a get-out-of-jail-free card. If the team stumbles, Treliving can fire Keefe and say 'hey I didn't hire him'.
