I will say that Burke likely wouldn't want to say anything that would undermine Treliving so I don't know if there would be anything to gain by asking him pointed questions regarding coaching.

Frick do I hate this argument.
The company man? Just love it when someone just labels you when you don't agree with them, such a weak weak argument.
It's like a pessimist calling out an optimist.
It's November 7th today. That month is pretty close to October. Hell Haynes even listed out the average turnaround for new coaches is at 18 games over the past several years.
If you want to overreact and panic fill your boots, but forgive me for not being a lemming and jump with you.
I see the Flames system as dramatically improved from last season. I see the execution some nights as not so much. I don't think they're coaching turnovers, or Gaudreau to try and beat everyone himself, or Bennett to hook someone every time he gets a chance, or to make sure they blow all four of the NHL trusted zone entries for powerplays, or to cough the puck up whenever you get a chance.
It's nonsensical.
But go ahead and call me a company man ... but man the Flames are about 17 years behind on their cheques
