Tough job to keep in Vegas.
Would Trotz want to go to Vegas? After a hundred and eleventy five years in Nashville he spent only 4 years in Washington and then again in Long Island. Would he last more than 2.5 years in Vegas? Is Vegas trending in the right direction for a coach of that caliber to join the team? He may want something a little more promising.

Yeah Vegas is starting to give off the smell of a mess in the making.
Maybe that magical first season has set unrealistic expectations for the management / ownership.
