Ward was hired as an assistant, which was the proper place to slot him. He would never have been made head coach even temporarily if the Peters thing hadn't blown up the way it did.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Ward was only re-upped at the beginning of last season because the Flames were trying to bring in Sutter and he wasn't ready to say yes yet.
