For the crowd that think management is too cheap:
I find it hard to believe that an organization that’s more than willing to spend to the cap every year, okays buyouts, okays 8 figure multi year contracts every offseason, would somehow draw the line on something as important to winning and losing as a head coach. It makes no sense. “I’ll let you spend $85 million on the players Brad, but only $1M on the coach.” Please...it sounds completely moronic.
For those that believe the Flames need to find a “good coach”
Has anyone ever thought that Brad Treliving’s idea of a “good” head coach differs from what your version of what a “good” head coach is? Like honestly, he held a 6 week long search and ended up selecting Glen Gulutzan out of the lot, He didn’t interview anyone else when he hired Bill Peters. Ditto for Ward. Like, is it possible that he looks at coaching more so than the basic wins vs loss column? We know Treliving is heavy into analytics, so naturally he’s going to choose coaches who fit that mold. Brad was a 1st time GM as well so maybe he himself is perfectly fine with hiring less experienced “modern day” coaches.
