If you ran a business and one of your managers was racking up huge severance pay tabs because he was hiring and firing people after a short period of time, eventually you might start having to get involved.
How many coaching hires should a GM get before higher up management starts saying no?

He inherited Bob Hartley and they extended him after a playoff appearance.
His first hire was awful and they cut ties after 2 years, and it may have also been a budget hire based on the coach we got.
I think he got it right with Bill Peters but he also didn't fire him, something I don't think anyone prepared for happened and out went Peters and his assistant took over and was extended during the pandemic.
It sounds like during this time period Edwards stepped in and tried to force in Sutter and when he didn't take the job and we played poorly in the covid season Edwards probably upped his offer to Sutter to come in and forced Treliving to fire a coach.
So really the only coaches you can put on his tab of expenses was Glen and partially Bob Hartley.
