I'm on board with hiring a experienced and successful coach, but would prefer the team not look to the past for that.

I have thought about this, not sure I have a good answer. There is likely newer league and team policies that have been put in place that Sutter would have to adhere to. It may be to some degree the reason he has not been rehired. With some former players in the organization you have to wonder. I am using Sutter as an example because he got clear tangible results and maybe could be had for a bargain price, but would be open to whoever is available.
That said, Treliving should "act quickly" and raise the standard on his coaching hires, or we might just see another wasted season.
