When GG was hired a lot of people were clamoring for "no retreads" when Boudreau's name came up and despite GG having one previous gig, he wasn't really seen that way.
Hiring a guy who has had limited HC experience isn't really that unconventional. Every head coach was once a first timer. Plenty had a rough first gig as well. Calgary's best HC ever was kind of an out of the box pick - no pro experience at all - but was Cliff Fletcher some sort of "smartest guy in the room" egomaniac because of that?
