One thing is for sure, the fanbase's reactions (including my own) to Bob Hartley's firing:

So is the fanbase "always" wanting the coach fired when the team does poorly? I don't think so. The 2015-16 Flames drafted 6th overall after a playoff season and a big offseason trade... and yet (a majority of) people were being patient with that coach based on what we saw on the ice.
