Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

I it's like I do have a brother who's a lawyer as well.

who would probably say the same thing Berkey did.

And I think Bruce Cassidy is one of these coaches that probably can add more.

I always say it's like an 80-20 rule.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

A coach can make you maybe 20% better as a team or 80% worse.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

Maybe the really, really good ones, it's like 30-70 type of deal.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

And so I think Bruce is at the top of that chain.

And I just think Kelly McCrimmon is sitting there and he's like, listen, this is good business for us.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

If Bruce Cassidy is not coaching and my owner is OK paying him four and a half million dollars next year not to coach.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

Well, listen, this is part of, you know, the idea here that, you know, you sign guaranteed contracts.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

And I heard you bring up.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

I didn't realize that the coaches' contracts are actually registered within the league.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

I guess I never thought of that.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

It makes sense that the league would be involved in it.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

So I guess there's a standard coaching contract, like there's a standard player contract.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

I guess I kind of took that out of that.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

I learned that when Berkey said that on your show just a little bit ago.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

But would a coach then, Jeff, wanna come in and agree to say, hey, this doesn't have to be a guaranteed contract.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
Western Conference Finals, Adam Foote Fired, and Cassidy Controversy ft. Brian Burke & Colby Cohen

So this way, if you do fire me, I can go wherever else I want.

I mean, I'm with you more in like, I don't like what's going on right now, but I also don't blame Vegas.
