When you look at the number of coaches the Flames have hired in the past 33 years (13 not counting the two interim coaches), is any coach the right coach?
Average life span for a Flames coach is about 2-1/2 years (205 games) with Bob Johnson holding the record for longest Flame coach at 400 games and Don Hay and Jim Playfair for the shortest at 68 and 82 games respectively.
Take Bob, Don, and Jim out of the equation and the average Flames coaching career is 181 games.
On that basis alone, Hartley's days are numbered.
Frankly, I'm a little tired of the revolving door coach here in Calgary.
