Why is Craig Berube still the Maple Leafs' head coach?
Briefly

Why is Craig Berube still the Maple Leafs' head coach?
"No Toronto Maple Leafs head coach has survived an eight-game losing streak. Peter Horachek survived his 11-game winless streak in 2015 due to unique circumstances, including the team's tanking strategy for a draft pick."
"Sheldon Keefe was a postseason decision by Brad Treliving, not based on regular season failures. Coaches like Wilson, Carlyle, and Babcock were let go before reaching the lows that Craig Berube currently faces."
"Craig Berube's record is slightly worse than previous coaches at the time of their firings. The last coach to last longer without being fired was Pat Burns in 1996, who had just one win in his last 11 games."
"Brad Treliving's history of in-season firings suggests he may want to give Berube one last win. Both of Treliving's previous firings occurred after the outgoing coach secured a final victory."

Sheldon Keefe's position was a postseason decision, unlike previous coaches like Wilson, Carlyle, and Babcock, who were dismissed before reaching similar lows. Craig Berube's record is slightly worse than those coaches at the time of their firings. The last coach to last longer than Berube without being fired was Pat Burns in 1996. Brad Treliving's history suggests he may want to give Berube one last win before making a decision.
