Either way, he didn't leap some philosophical chasm, he just took the team in a different direction once it was very obvious the current one wasn't working and (presumably) permission was granted from the owners.
GM's are salesmen. If you're putting that much stock in his "not the GM for a rebuild" speech, then you got sold hard. You even bought the extended warranty, you silly goose.

Again, not that I am looking to wade too much into this......
But from an outsiders POV (which 99% of us, are), we only see what is on the surface:

- current record in the tenure with the Flames
- quotes
There are some posters in this thread that seem to get very offended when these 3 are the metrics used to judge Feaster/Hartley...... which I don't get, cause thats all we really get.
