Then when the season started poorly Edwards circled back to Sutter and he agreed at that time since things were a bit more clear with how the season was going to work and things were starting to be a bit more stable with COVID.
Didn't really think it was true at the time...but in hindsight that feels like it checks out a bit.

It does make sense with everything happening.
So pretty much confirms that Treliving got 2 coaching hires, he didn't hire Ward to be the head coach the circumstances forced them to put in the position.
I wonder if his intention was to fire Hartley after his first season but we made the playoffs.
