We know Treliving has extreme tunnel vision when it comes to coaches - Gulutzan was the only guy, Peters was the only guy, Sutter was the only guy - so I guess your hypothesis could be true. On the other hand that’s a terrible way to run a team - sacrifice an unknown amount of the season to an inexperienced coach that you plan to fire as soon as your target becomes available. I can’t believe ownership would sign up to that plan
