So change the coach and.........hope?
Like Bingo said...they have a guy in mind and dont care about paying a bunch of guys to not coach any more, then by all means make the switch, but really doubtful the results are any different.
I dont know...IMO (and im pretty much on an island here i think) the personnel has proven repeatedly they cannot get it done and i dont believe the second coming of Scotty Bowman combined with Al Arbour makes any big difference.
I think what we see is what we get until at least the off-season no matter what happens behind the bench.

I am out of thanks, but you are definitely not alone in this. I do not like the way they are playing hockey right now, and a big part of that is the coach. I would welcome a big change to the core group of players, but then I also think that present circumstances are really working against any of this happening.
The Flames owners are in a bad spot, which puts the team and the management ing a bad spot: The new building is on the way and it is going to cost a fortune. The pandemic has shrunken revenues to almost nothing, and the road back to normalcy is long and uncertain. Right now, I think the team is in survival-mode: staying afloat until things settle is the priority, and this likely means also staying the course.
It is frustrating and I don't see any way out of it but through time.
