I wonder what the result of that was hmmm..
A smart leader and this rings true in any organization sports or business surrounds themself with experts in their field.
Gulutzan is neither smart or a leader.

I think GG is smart, but I don't think his assistants are getting the job done. GG probably trusts their decisions which is why he won't make the obvious decisions\changes. If it were a guy like Darryl he would be telling the assistants how he wants it done and then he would make the on ice decisions from there. In order for GG to become a better hands on coach he should be an assistant to a guy like Darryl; But even then I don't know if that would translate passion, emotion, leadership behind the bench.

The Flames sorely needs someone who knows how to push the right buttons, make appropriate changes and who knows that winning at all costs is the difference between making the playoffs. I am speculating but I think the reason we don't see GG making those types of changes is because the assistants are pulling a lot of the on ice strings.

Edit: GG is a smart hockey coach but doesn't appear to be a master motivator.
