There hasn't been a single-season coach in this team in over a decade, last one was Jim Playfair back in 2006-07.
I have also literally never heard anyone outside this board even discuss the idea that our roster is somehow coach killers. Again in these playoffs it was very clear that the team plays exactly the way the coach wants, whether it works

Agreed.
Hartley got replaced because he wasn't the new GM's guy. Gulutzan got replaced because he was terrible. Peterson basically forced the Flames to fire him because of his past.
That's only one firing based on the team's performance under the coach, and he was a truly awful coach that shouldn't have been hired in the first place.
