Maybe if Trelieving had bucked up and hired one legit coach it wouldn't be so easy to blame coaching
Perhaps hiring a Boudreau, Gallant or similar coach would have allowed Trelieving to make the case the core isn't good enough to compete and force a change.
Unfortunately, by hiring Gulutzan, Peters and Ward he leaves a huge question mark out there about coaching.
If you want to fix the problem you don't change everything at once, you change one variable at a time.
Step 1 is to get a legit coach and see what happens. If the results are the same you have your answer. I won't believe we have properly evaluated what the current roster can do until a proper coach is hired.
