Steve Spott Hired as Marlies Coach

Kitchener Rangers have already put out a release confirming Spott's departure. Not too sure how much I like this move. Spott has been criticized in some circles here in Kitchener for having teams that are not physical enough.
 
Hopefully he'll do a really good job as coach of the Marlies so we can make a big deal about him being hired elsewhere too.

Well he's not the GM of the Marlies, so wouldn't worry about that issue. 
 
Looking back at last years World Juniors tournament thread, there were many of us here, myself included, that we're not happy with the coaching job Spott and company did with the Canadian youngsters. Besides that tournament I know little about the man and the coach. Hopefully that wasn't a good sample of his overall work?
 
It's tough to coach a team over a 2 week period and be expected to implement any real systems. Skill takes over in that instant.
