It’s not a stretch to say Gallant, who is still being paid by Vegas wouldn’t wait to see what the off season, and particularly Seattle, holds, as opposed to taking on a team that seems pretty disfunctional mid season.

Or Boudreau, who has flip flopped on his coaching desires a couple times, lives and has a team in Hershey, has made good money for 4 years, and would have to quarantine.

Aside from those guys there’s not a whole lot of talent out there. Especially ones who aren’t currently holding down a job they’d have to get out of, like, say, Todd Nelson.
So if it's hard Trelieving shouldn't bother trying?

This team needs a better coach. Trelieving should be doing everything he can to make that happen. At this point I don't believe we need an elite coach to be better, just a competent coach. Ward is not competent.

Edit: I think it's fair to say ego played a part in why Ward was made the permanent head coach in the off season, when the covid barriers to hiring a new coach were not issues.
