There have been a ton of coach firings this year with plenty of big names on the sideline.

- Bruce Boudreau
- Peter Laviolette
- Gerard Gallant
- Mike Babcock

The Flames have also seen a coaching change this year with Geoff Ward taking over for the much-maligned Bill Peters in November.

But Ward has no previous NHL HC history and has shown some signs of his inexperience at times this year. With other names like Darryl Sutter, Guy Boucher, Dan Bylsma, and Lindy Ruff currently without NHL head coaching duties, I think it's a reasonable question to ask whether the Flames need new blood behind the bench. Ward is an interim coach for a reason, after all.

So what do you do? Do you make a change? If so, when? And who do you pick?
