The sort of experienced coaches people here want next do not just go where the money and opportunity lie. And i agree with Flash - the coaching carousel here will scare away those who are just as interested in their reputation as anything else (and that is probably a characteristic for each of Q, AV, DS, etc etc).
As i noted elsewhere - the other reason Calgary only attracts retreads and rookies is the travel - so much harder to coach in a market where you are on the road as much as Calgary is - as compared to say an eastern team in a division where you can practice in your own facilities more often.
gulutzan may not be around next year, but i would expect someone like Dave Lowry or another assistant coach to come here in a promotion.
