I don't think that coaching salary has ever been an issue for the Flames. I don't think that's what made Ward more attractive over someone else. I do think that the Flames' owners are shrewd enough to figure out that paying for their management personnel top-dollar is worth it as they have all been businessmen with that experience.
I just think that the Flames suffer from not being as an attractive of a market + simply making poor decisions all on their own.

For some reason CF has forgotten Hartley existed. I'm not confident in that site's coach salary reports though. They list Ward at $900K which is really doubtful.
