I don't think there's a need for Burke or ownership to step in and influence the hiring of the next coach. If Gulutzan doesn't work out it's something Treliving should learn from for the next hiring. The one year contract thing for Gulutzan is a little puzzling though. If you don't have the confidence to at least provide your new coach with a multiple year deal is that a sign he may not be the guy? Maybe Gulutzan got the job because his sales pitch was that he would take a one year deal show me deal to prove he would be worth a longer commitment after the first season? Either way I suppose it's a plus the GM could get a new head coach to sign on for a one year deal.
