I recall a discussion with Treliving on FAN960 about Hartley as a coach, and he hinted that he was planning on bringing in his own coach after 2014-15 when Hartley's contract expired, but with the way the team performed he felt that Hartley earned another shot. He obviously felt that this year Hartley did a 180 in meeting the GMs expectations.

I am basing my opinion on Hartley being fired for last season's performance.
It goes without saying that if we had been better he is still employed today.
