The same question could have been asked when Shanahan came out and said that the "swarm" defensive strategy Carlyle has been using doesn't work. If they didn't like his system, why bring him back? And, honestly, I can't figure out why they did bring him back, but I definitely get the feeling that they're making it very clear to him that his leash is short and there are already people in place to take his job if he don't do the job the front office wants him to do.
What my concern is if the Leafs start the season on a losing streak similar to how the team finished last season, what then? In an entire season the Leafs would barely reach 20 wins. Sure the Leafs could fire him, but to be on the hook for 2 years would be idiotic.
