Hiring Hackett was a big mistake. There are reports that the early contract extension was being pushed by ownership. It's hard to find good coaches, once a team finds one they rarely let them go.

Well, I disagree, but it's your GM and your team. If Wilson is just as bad next year, will Paton fire the new coach too? You have Wilson under contract for what, another 6 years? So, if Wilson doesn't improve, you'll have to bite the bullet on the Wilson trade/extension. Those are essentially sunk costs, but Paton put you in that position. Personally, I think Paton sunk the franchise for many years to come with that trade.
