Flames are gonna Flame.
Let me guess, the goalie coach is sticking around also?
When you got several coaches on the market at the same time with credible resumes of success for a prolonged period of time, why bother pursing them, and keep meddling with options that are mediocre, or simply non-existent, after you've had three coaches in the past several years fail?
Franchise is what it is. Just like Oilers, stuck in mediocracy until there's a true personnel, and philosophical change on how they operate to be successful.
...
Even if core personnel are changed on the roster, the coaching should also be changed, and next season should be a complete fresh start from this past season. The ONLY way I feel that this decision is acceptable to me is if Tre is intending to do a rebuild/retool, and as a result, the coaches available were not interested in coming to Calgary as a result. Although honestly with Calgary's history of coaching hires, I doubt that they wouldn't be intersted still.
So if rebuilding is the case, and ownership is onboard, then that means that Tre probably gets another shot at another coach since he would have rope. But then I question if he should be the one who gets to lead the rebuild.
