Hartley Gone

An 0-6 start isn't good news as Bob Hartley has been fired in Atlanta. So those of you who had Hartley in the "First Coach Fired" pool, you can collect your winnings.

This shouldn't come as much of a surprise as many different bloggers (too many to link here right now at least) saw this one coming. However, Mike Vogel makes a case (at least unintentionally) that GM Don Wadell deserves to be shown the door as much if not more so than Hartley.

But in the interim, Wadell will once again slide behind the bench and will try to make sense of this. But as I said before if Ken Klee is an upgrade to your blueline, it doesn't matter who you have behind the bench, it just isn't going to work. Hartley is nothing more than a scapegoat right now.
