But I think we'd see soon after that either they hired a "bad" coach again, or that the roster itself isn't good enough.
I think both the coaching and the roster needs a change.

This situation is really going to depend on ownerships patience.
Personally, I don't see a coaching firing without the management group getting axed as well.
If/when the Flames get a new coach I'm pretty confident we see a new GM.
And that begs the question about trades. Who's going to make them? Is there going to be a lock down on player movement while ownership decides what they're going to do?
Do we really want an outgoing GM to be making deals with the assets the Flames have.
Another question is timing. Timing of what you're putting on the ice of the new arena. What do they want to do with that? Do you rebuild now and hopefully get the new group up to speed in time for the arena to pull in as much ticket sales as possible?
The the Flames issues are a bigger can of worms than just the on ice product.
