Nope. Just making an observation.
You can interpret it your way, or even as they fired him because they saw what was coming (i.e. the team was not very good after a 5 year rebuild).
I don't know how I feel on the topic. But I can see pretty compelling reasons both pro/con having him in charge and also what it might mean regarding the salient point: the Flames GM search.
