The only problem with promoting Coupal is he’s as good as anyone in the league at his job. Anyone you hire to replace him is likely a step down. Not to mention, who does he replace? Manson is Woody’s guy, and the organization clearly loves Gulutzan considering he’s been here through 4 coaches now
I don't think being video means you automatically want to go into coaching. It's kind of a get your foot into the door type of position.
Now he has been doing it for 10 years so maybe he really likes it.
Either way I don't know that he'd be leaving the Oiler organization anytime soon especially for the same job. I mean what can he really make where you couldn't just be like here's an extra 30-50k to stay?
As for replacing him you either look around the league or promote Noah.
