I don't think he would be up for a rebuild which is what you're talking about in the second paragraph. They aren't going to fire him unless another Peters situation comes up and they're going to have to really piss him off to make him quit and I just don't see them doing that for various reasons.

If he doesn't get fired this summer Treliving knows he can't risk going into next season not doing anything significant after showing know signs of improvement since 2019 which is really when there should have been some changes to the core.
Well then isn't every team retooling every year then? I feel like the word retool is sort of the inbetween of a rebuild and tinkering your roster. Retooling is not a complete rebuild, but it's about trading older pieces for younger ones and I just don't think Darryl will be up for either a rebuild or a retool. I think he's more interested in tinkering, trading one or two guys for an upgrade, adding a new UFA to fill one who just left. But I just don't think Darryl will have any interest in young guys who are learning on the job, I think he's going to want impactful veterans, good talented difference makers in the prime of their careers rather than a second or third year player with plenty of potential, but who makes noob mistakes.
