For sure- taking into account last season he actually has a stronger resume in my opinion. I'm just saying that they made the decision to hire him full time 19 games ago.
I've seen arguments that Montreal fired their coach so why can't Calgary? Big difference is Ward is 19 games into his contract and Julien was 277 games into his. His contract was up this season and they were likely making a change in the off season regardless.
If that's the kind of leash our management team is going to give, it's a bad look to the rest of the league and to potential free agents- coaches and players.
