The whole issue strikes me as a budget one. Would explain why assistants would be stepping in if Ward is fired.
I think it'd be wiser to spend under the cap to ensure you're getting a coach with pedigree. False economy to cheap out on a coach to manage an 82 million dollar roster.
Honestly I hope this was the limiting factor for Treliving. He'd be paying lip service to Ward either way so the quotes in that article don't mean much to me. Hard to imagine he thought this was legitimately the best route given his previous experience with Gulutzan.
