Yes, Ward is not a top tier head coach, but it's not like the Flames had planned on hiring him mid-season either. That was a situation that was out of their control. I fully expect that there will be a proper head coach search at the end of the season.

I think the problem for many people, or at least my problem, is the apparent unwillingness of the team to look for a coach mid season. It really does appear like Trelieving is using this as a free shot at "picking" a coach. It's either that or the Flames were happy to roll the dice on the season to save money.
There are, and have been for some time, coaches out there who are without a doubt more accomplished than Ward.
Allowing a decision to be made for you, i.e "I guess Ward is the interim head coach now" is a telltale sign of weak leadership.
