I don't think so. If Ferguson tried to fire him, a power struggle would ensue and he would find himself on the way out.
Maurice is a good coach, but you can't do much with a team with as little talent as the Leafs have (that's right Leafland, they are NOT a team high on talent). The jury is still out on Ferguson, but it isn't looking very good. Admittedly, the environment he's working in probably isn't condusive to him making all the decisions he'd like to, so the assembled team PROBABLY isn't entirely his fault.
I do find it a little peculiar though that the recent nosedive started right after Ferguson had his option picked up. Player revolt perhaps? Whatever the case, Fergie is gone before spring training next year. UNLESS his team wins a playoff round. Even that may not save his ass. Anything less and he's surely toast.
