I’m sure there are Assistant Coaches etc out there who want to move up to HC. So why not take the challenge of turning this team around. Imagine if that coach is that good and can accomplish that, wouldn’t that be a story and great for ones resume. Perhaps Oulahan just wasn’t that guy or that good!
Has BB met with the players and asked for their feedback as to what their thoughts were? Perhaps they feel he is good as a goalie coach, but not as a HC. If the players aren't receptive to it, that could be a negative moving forward.
I know the current Assoc and Asst are new but maybe BB should give them a shot. My understanding from another post earlier is that they were making the calls on the bench this past weekend anyway not Stefan.

From where I was sitting it looked like Darcy Findlay was doing most of the active coaching. He was interacting constantly with the players, drawing up plays on the boards at breaks and generally directing the players on the bench. Stefan was also involved but certainly not on the level Findlay was. Findlay was the hands on coach on the bench this past weekend.
Can't throw too much stuff at the kids in a matter of hours. On Saturday, they changed up their forecheck a bit so I'm guessing we'll see some system changes this weekend along with some possible shuffling and then settling down of line combinations. Kolyachonok would be a huge help and I imagine Busby is probably only a couple weeks away now.

In other news...tonight is the first live broadcast of the year for the.......uhhhh......Coach's Show......????????
Firebirds’ Radio Coach’s Show Tonight at Timothy’s Pub – Flint Firebirds
Firebirds’ Radio Coach’s Show Tonight at Timothy’s Pub – Flint Firebirds
Coaches show has been live this year already. I believe this is the 2nd or 3rd one. Both assistant coaches as well as Clarke and Vierling will at Timothy's Pub tonight.
Unfortunately I feel like it is Stefan, or hopefully one of the the assistants. They are announcing this really quick. So I am doubting that the hire is from outside of the organization.

Great choice if true. Was Associate Coach for Flint in 2016-17 seasons and won the Memorial Cup 2 times as a player on the Spitfirs. He has been coaching the Windsor Lancers who represent the University of Windsor. He also is innvolved with a Vancouver, BC company with his brother, also an ex-NHL’er, who have a new reliable way of testing on the sidelines for concussions.

Eric Wellwood was a good hockey player.
He played on 2 Mem Cup teams in Windsor.
His brother Kyle played around 450 games in the NHL.

Recall the stated reason Wellwood didn’t return after 2016-17 was for interests outside of hockey. So assume that’s the business with his brother that Tc mentions?
