There are three successful coaches sitting at home right now. Other than money I don't see what the Flames have to lose by trying one of them out.
If the coach comes in and says this team can't cut it you have an additional outside view of how to retool the team this summer.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for a new coach. Ward has an interim tag for a reason and it’s pretty much inevitable that he will be replaced. However, I have seen enough from this core to know that something is missing. I want change in this regard.
A lot of people look at last year in a positive light. Sure the season they had last year was great but ultimately it ended as a major disappointment. As a long time Flames I’m still bitter about it and hold a fair bit of resentment to some of the top end talent on this team that lack killer instinct and struggle to elevate their game.
