All the news that's fit to coach.

It's the summer, so there's very little for me to say here except, well, let's be fair it's pretty clear that Wilson not having a deal past this year means he's on a short leash. Slow start and he's a goner.

I think I'd prefer another coach...........not sure who, I just feel Wilson isn't the best guy to move forward with the team that is being assembled.

Short leash indeed.  He no longer can hang on to the excuse of bodies coming and going and not having "his" team put in place going forward. 

I don't mind seeing him get the chance.  We have seen Stajan, White and Kulemin to name a few get better under his tutelage, so I'm not totally against him teaching this group.  Whether he is the one to take them over the top in a few years (thus warranting an extension) is something I question.

Why bring this back. the leafs were following the coach and winning. so how can you call for his head, you must not be a real leaf fan. or you are just one of them people that will never be happy no matter what management does.

I think we go into the season with the coach we have and hope he keeps the guys playing like he did once he got some real players.

In fairness, reading is hard.

I'd love this to be the "Permanently Fire Ron Wilson" thread, but hopefully I don't have to see that.  I just don't see how he has done anything to suggest he can get more out of a Leafs roster, and I think you need to see that element out of a coach that is capable of winning.

An opportunity to complain about Wilson?  Why wasn't I informed of this sooner?

Hold on guys. You sure you want to be labeled as not a real Leafs fan by nutman?

I have a feeling Burke will be keeping a close eye on Wilson this season. If he doesn't get the job done (i.e. the Leafs are out of it again by Christmas), I think a change will be made.
