I have not been happy with BT's coaching hires. Neither of those 2 have proven anything in this league.
I still think that BT found something that he deemed unacceptable about Hartley in the exit interviews moreso than the players running him out of town. With his past track record, I think that is quite plausible.
Hartley was the only one of the three coaches that has ever accomplished anything significant at the NHL level-and he got results out of the weakest lineup that any of these three coaches had in Calgary.
I still think the Flames need to ditch the moneyball coaching theory and should have hired one of the proven winners that was available rather than going off the board.
