Why he might be annoying:

He spent the majority of his playing career shuffling back and forth between the NHL and the minor leagues.
He got his break into coaching through nepotism, as he served as an assistant coach for the Capitals under his older brother, Bryan.
He was named his brother's replacement as the Capitals' head coach.
He was fired by the Flyers one week after guiding the team to its first Stanley Cup Finals appearance in ten years (1997).
A year after being fired by the Flyers, he was hired as the Panthers' head coach since his brother was the team's general manager.

Why he might not be annoying:

He and Bryan are the first set of brothers in NHL history to serve on the same coaching staff.
He was instrumental in the creation of the Flyers famed 'Legion of Doom' line in a move which saw John LeClair elevate his game playing alongside Eric Lindros.
He was instrumental in the Flyers turnaround from laughingstock to perennial contender during the mid 1990's.
He was hired by Los Angeles in order to bring a veteran presence to a young team.
During the Flyers 1997 Stanley Cup Finals run, his team went 12-3 during the first three rounds before falling to the Red Wings in four straight games.
