The only reason to wait is if they haven't made up their minds. It makes no sense for anyone involved to prolong the decision too long. You aren't doing any favours to Gulutzan by keeping him wondering where he's going to be next year. The Flames brass can't start preparing for the change in direction. Other candidates out there aren't aware of a new opening in the league. If there is going to be a coaching change I suspect it happens this week for sure, and probably sooner rather than later.
