You don't just stay with someone because you need to "stop the insanity" of turnover. Turnover stops when your philosophy changes and you hire quality people. It will happen here when the Flames accept that their way of doing things is wholly ineffective.

I'm not saying Treliving should be fired now, but if the time comes, you don't keep him for the sake of stability. You don't hope the mediocrity goes away because of tenure and in spite of evidence and results.

I agree you can't just hang on to someone but I do think there is real value in stability. So when you are changing your top management, it should be done very carefully. Not because someone is unhappy that the coach hasn't been fired in mere days following the end of season, and somehow concluding on the basis of that - that he has a "inability to act".
