How Long Will Ron Wilson Last?

via Bruce Garrioch of Off The Posts,
Is it me or does anybody else think that Ron Wilson won’t - or shouldn’t - last long as coach of the Maple Leafs.
He had a total, and complete, meltdown following the 2-1 loss to the Senators Tuesday at the Air Canada Centre. It was awfully funny to hear.
Apparently his early-morning practice was moved to noon so he didn’t follow through on that threat.
I just don’t get the feeling he is going to be behind the Toronto bench forever - five year contract or not - if this team doesn’t pick it up.

Sometimes you wonder how long the Sun columnists will last, if the attention grabbing is the only reason they have, and why others shockingly didn’t. I’m amazed I’m still ‘lasting’ here.

There’s a reason Atlanta shipped Exelby off, and it’s not because Atlanta thought he was a good player.

When Kessel gets there everything should be fine…...NOT. Do they really thing they have a goalie….and Mike Komisarek is not a good Dman. Plus name one good legitimate forward on the team right now?

Garrioch is from Ottawa, not Toronto and has hated Ron Wilson for years and badmouths Wilson ever chance he gets. So don’t read too much into what he says about Wilson.

When starving for headlines and site hits mention something to do with the Leafs or Habs and everything will be fine.
Garrioch is a fraud

Hahaha, Booboo’s at it again. Does anyone really believe for a second that Ron Wilson’s job is in jeopardy three games into the season? “Malkin to Kings” is grinding an axe against Wilson. Remember last year’s ridiculous attack on Wilson because Wilson chose not to start Gerber against Ottawa? I believe Garrioch thought that Ron Wilson “ruined hockey” and blamed him for low attendance for not starting MARTIN GERBER in a nothing game. Garrioch is on my list of respected media-types just one rung above Eklund. That would make him about as reputable as Bernie Madoff.

Don’t be fooled, Garrioch is not a level above anyone, not even Eklund. This guy is an absolute turd and reminds us every time he writes or speaks. Even when he writes about his home town team the Senators it is blabber… and we all know of his off season musings including the above mentioned Malkin to the Kings… you nailed that one Brucie!
For the life of me I do not understand how he has work… and he is even on the radio in Ottawa during pre-game shows… that is quite the listen… team1200.com if anyone wants a laugh

As a Leaf fan for many years now , this is exactly why i don`t read or respect the toronto media. 3 games in and there calling for his head give me a break. This is ridiculous, blame the coach because his team has a lack of offense , look to the players not the coach.
This is a pitiful acticle and it shows the lack of ability to write a decent story .
