This week’s “Hot Seat” shifts the focus off the playing surface and onto the sidelines.

While the players are the ones who ultimately make the plays, the coaches are responsible for putting them in the best position to make those plays. Of late, that hasn’t been happening to the degree that certain fan bases expect.

Last Saturday saw a meltdown by a head coach, this Sunday a different head coach needs to uphold a certain high standard and on Thursday night a head coach who’s been on a seesaw needs to reestablish his team as a playoff contender.

It’s an all head coaches edition of “Hot Seat” as Mike MacIntyre, Gary Kubiak and Patrick Roy will have the heat turned up on them this week.
