I don't believe that to be true at all, myself. Sure, the conversations would have been there about coaching and Sutter not being ready back then. But hiring Sutter likely had way more to do with the team imploding than a master plan where Trelving would hire Sutter at a later date regardless of what Ward was or wasn't accomplishing.
Likely coincidence that Brad knew another coach wasn't working and had to make the change, and Sutter was now ready.
