I wonder if it's the same time thing they did with Conroy. Bring in some candidates that you might not want as a head coach but you pair with a first timer like Tanguay or Mitch Love to help as a associate coach.
Gallant could help with the defensive details of the game and allow the head coach to implement a more offensive take that way he isn't preaching defensive stuff to a group that is looking to be more offensive.
Plus running a bench the first time isn't going to be smooth and first time coaches can have goals against suffer with defensive lapses. We still need to be detailed in our end especially of we want to be a playoff team.
Some of these guys beings fired will need to suck it up and take these roles if they want to remain in the game and get another shot if they don't want to progress with the times as a head coach.
