You're probably thinking of Mike Kelly, who was head coach and GM in 2009.
It's funny, I had pretty positive memories of Kelly from his OC days in Winnipeg in the early 90s. But when he came back as HC he was a pretty prickly guy who would get into it with fans and the media. He ended up in some domestic incident during the off season and once his mug shot from the US hit the papers in Winnipeg that was it, he got axed even though the team was 7-11 and would get a hell of a lot worse without him.
I remember it was a pretty big media circus in town when it happened...
