He didn't have the best team to work with at all. It's not all Crawford's fault that the Kings did nothing. But since they weren't doing anything, something had to be done.
He was a terrible coach. I have liked the Kings since I have been 10 years old and they will always be my favorite team. THe fact that Crawford lead the Kings to last place in the West makes it a good decision to fire him, especially with all of the talent he has.
Maybe in five years they might have something when their rookies develop. For now he was given coal and told he had to turn it into diamonds by the end of the season. That's unresonable for most folks.

If he could stand up for himself he'd still be in Edmonton.
