I wouldn't expect a new GM to yield immediate results, I just want someone to get us going in the right direction. I don't agree with those who add up Treliving's moves and then use that as a basis to evaluate his performance. Because just as important are all the things that he hasn't done during his tenure.
As other have said very well, he stepped into a healthy situation for a new GM. And the lack of progress for the big league club over seven years speaks for itself.

He walked into a team that had missed the playoffs 5 years in a row and hadn’t won a series in a decade or a division in 8 years. In his 7 years they will have made the playoffs 4-5 times, won a round, and had the best regular season in 30 years. I don’t know if I call that a lack of progress?
I also think it is likely they give Conroy a shot as he has been in management for 10 years being groomed by the org. Most companies prefer to promote from within vs going outside for a hire so I agree with Text that the next guy coming in will be another rookie
