Also, grudgingly, have to take into account the economics of it. How much has ownership lost during the pandemic? How much do they have to spend or want to spend? Given they (seemingly) didn't spend a lot on coaches to begin with, why change now when money is tighter?
I don't like it, but I can see that playing a major role too.

Since you mentioned it here and it continues to get mentioned by others, Burke stated last week that when he was with the Flames, there was never any direction from above or strategy among the management that money shouldn't be spent on coaching.
