I'm perfectly happy to see a relevant post about him coaching the Oilers. But the others aren't "discussing" him. They are usually just random and meaningless posts by people itching to complain about something that doesn't exist any more.

The fact of the matter is that this team is naturally going to be compared to last year's team and one of the biggest changes was the hair behind the bench.
He was the head coach last season and went not only to a Provincial rival, but a divisional rival.
The comparisons are inevitable going to continue. The Brodie example is a perfect one.
Ol' Gul kept on trying to pound a square peg into a round hole because he thought he was the smartest person in the room and that if you repeated something enough times it would eventually work....just the way he told everyone all the time.
Except it didnt and with one flippant move of putting Brodie back on his natural side we had someone go from being a useless liability to a top defender.
Real simple stuff. That Gulutzan couldnt grasp because he was too concerned about being smarter than the average bear.
Either way, he was head coach of this team for 168 games, 24 games into a new season with largely the same roster and its not like we're going to forget he existed.
We can stop talking about him when they take his stint as Flames head coach off his Wikipedia page, otherwise its work that he did and was duly compensated for and he will be be judged for it.
