I know it is a completely different situation, but I recall the Flames were open about actively pursuing a permanent HC when Al MacNeil was named the interim coach after Gilbert was fired.

Ward has said he'd be open to remaining as an associate coach.
My gut is that he'd be open to staying on if the new head coach agreed. Probably would just get a slight raise still, and there would be an agreement that he would be able to interview for any head coach job if the opportunity came up.
