The best and worst Flames coaches ever

The Calgary Flames are currently looking for a head coach.

Over their 44 seasons in the National Hockey League, the Flames have had 17 head coaches (including interims). Some were good. Some were bad. All of them lost their job in one way or another. If you want to get technical, two of them fired themselves.

Here's our ranking of Flames coaches from worst to best.

17. GREG GILBERT

Tenure: 2001-2002

Expectations: Hired to replace Don Hay in mid-season, with the idea that a young whiz kid could succeed where an award-winning veteran junior coach didn't.
