Brad has a been a really good rookie GM, imo. He's outperformed many vets with years of experience, but this coach hire is where I genuinely feel he made a rookie mistake and I'm confident he will learn from it.
He over analyzed and over-interviewed, imo. He made the hire and the team's identity and playing style one of his famous "processes".
You can tell that somewhere along the line while interviewing Glen he had bought into what Glen was selling and was likely already thinking about this new way the Flames were going to be playing and how well it was going to work and shut other candidates out of his mind and began ignoring lack of previous success.
Glen sold him that he was his a new innovative young guy that was going to do it his way and win, and I'm very confident Brad goes for a your standard, experienced "best candidate available" coach next time around.
