Message: [QUOTE="orange79, post: 2323303, member: 159"] I'm really not sure why anyone is surprised. They probably made a call or two to retired (or otherwise available) coaches, but a day before the season starts, they needed someone familiar with (what's left of) the team, someone that would have feet on the ground immediately, someone with whom they wouldn't have to have the back and forth of negotiation. They really stressed he was the interim coach. Next to zero chance he gets the gig for real. That would be begging for harsher punishment. [/QUOTE]
