I am not sure he isn't cut out to be one. He has been rumoured to be 'on the bubble' as a new head coach around the league, and I was actually fearful that the Flames would end up losing him. When he became the interim, I was optimistic, and I remained so until he forced Backlund to the wing for WAY too long when it was painfully obvious it wasn't working, even though the team was winning.
However, since the playoffs began, I have really warmed up to him and felt he has done some good things.
Now? I am kind of on the fence. I just want results. If the Flames bow out to Dallas here, I want moves - roster moves and a new (and hopefully experienced and proven) head coach. Until then, I will remain on the fence. If the Flames win this round and bow out the next - I will probably remain on the fence unless I see some adjustments during the next series. If the Flames go beyond the 2nd round, then I don't think the Flames can (or should) make a move other than to remove the interim tag.
Just sitting here sitting on the fence - uncomfortably so since it seems some idiot has strung barbed wire along the top of this.
