I'm guessing very few people, if any, in the Flames organization know much about modern goalie coaching. It's a very specified position that has went through a lot of change over the years, and from what I've read the coaching techniques have advanced a lot in the last decade or so.
So I would simply go with results. He's worked for the organization for six years now (first for the Heat, then for the Flames), and during his time there haven't been any real successes in goal.
He might not be a problem, but then again he might, and I think based on the results it's very hard to make a case that he's a guy we can't afford to lose either, when every goalie he's worked with has seen they're numbers go down instead of up.
At worst we fire an okay coach who didn't deserve it, but I'm okay with that. That's the risk you take if you want to work in the NHL.
I don't however want to live with the risk that the bad results really have to do with him being a terrible coach.
