Fire Hartley, Place Gelinas as the interm coach and have a normal candidate headhunt. The list of candidates for an NHL coaching job is not exclusive to ex-NHL coaches with plenty of experience. Every great coach got the "first shot" from some one.

This is just silly and accomplishes nothing. If your desire is to save the season, I don't think running with the asst. coaches until you find a suitable candidate accomplishes that. Unless you think Gelinas knows how to fix the team and is just keeping the ideas to himself? If that's not the case, then the season is already sunk before you have a replacement.
If you're just hoping to shock the team into action there are better ways to do it than trying to have a new coach/system implemented partway through the season.
