Should Hartley get a contract extension?
Hartley is on his last year of his deal if I understand correctly.
Both Burke and Treliving seem to genuinely like Hartley and the job he did last season. So do you give him a contract extension? With one year left you risk the players tuning him out if they think he's a lame duck coach. Plus it gives Hartley confidence that the team really believes in him.
I would give him a 2 year extension making his contract end after the 2016-17 season. Treliving can still fire Hartley next off-season if he changes his mind about him.
