from Chuck Gormley at the Sporting News,
This is where the slope gets especially slippery for Therrien. An emotional coach who strokes his players with sandpaper, Therrien needs to be careful how he handles himself in the next few days and weeks.
Can anyone forget former Philadelphia Flyers coach Terry Murray being in a similar situation in the 1997 finals? Like the Penguins, his team rolled into the finals as a confident bunch, only to get waxed by the Red Wings in four straight.
Following its Game 3 loss in Detroit, Murray said his team was basically in a “choking situation,” and a few weeks later he was fired. Therrien is in a similarly precarious position right now.

I think any coach looking for a job right now should hold off signing anywhere until after the playoffs. If the Pens lose bad, which looks at least somewhat likely right now, I bet Therrien is canned. The Pens will have their pick of the litter in the off-season.
