It's a tough relationship to be coaching three 1OA players. Eakins' downfall was that he couldn't control the locker room, partly I'm sure because of egos. All accounts pointed to it being an attitude issue - the coach has to fix that, but the players can't be void of accountability.


I agree.

Eakins feels to me like that substitute teacher in grade school who comes in, tries to real hard but has no real respect and is never able to control the class

Push over

If you couldn't see that eakins no coaching attitude wasn't helping this team one bit... not sure what to say


Would be a valid argument if the same group of guys didn't get 3 other coaches fired in the span of like under 5 years.

Krueger should of never been let go. Mctavish got all excited with the big talk of eakins when he was auditioning for positions.
Mctavish firing him proves and shows to us he made a mistake.

It's not the only mistake he made, guy needs to fire himself and Lowe should gtfo while they're at it. Get rid of the old boys club and shake up the organization because the way it's been going obviously isn't working.

Lowe is buddies with Katz though, so good luck :(

Exactly. Katz loves the old boys. There's many billboards around edmonton that say "klowe must go" even was one outside oilers headquarters. Well never happen

Hard to talk as a wings fan but anyone who knows the Detroit Lions' story knows it's the same song. This season is Detroit's 0-16 season, when pretty much everyone below vice president got fired and replaced. Just needs to happen for the fans to get back behind the team.

Todd Nelson to take over head coach once mact gets him use to the players and after mact sees what the real problem is.

Fire one ahl coach....to bring in another.

At least Nelson coached all our players in okc. And the young guys listen to him..
