Yet still first-time coaches or retreads. Even if some of those coaches had some pedigree, none of it was proven at the highest level. I'm not necessarily against hiring young up and coming guys, but the Flames pretty much never go out and hire the top dogs. To me that indicates a way of doing business. Now part of that may be due to geography/status, but I'm sure if you threw enough money at these guys, they'd come.
Today's squad in particular I think could really use a proven leader.
