Winning a Stanley Cup means forever being linked to a piece of hockey history. It does not mean job security -- unless your name is Scotty Bowman.
No coach who has won the Stanley Cup in the past 10 years remained with his team more than three seasons afterward. In fact, only Jacques Lemaire stuck around for a full triennial.
