I've noticed that we have 2 guys getting head coaching looks this offseason. Patrick Ewing has interviewed for the Memphis Grizzlies job and Stephen Silas has interviewed for the Houston Rockets job -- in the article there is also a mention that Golden State is interested in bringing Silas back as an assistant.

Ewing has to be a matter of time until he gets a head coaching job, it can happen any year -- even this one. The only thing I'll regret when he leaves is not having a true young Center for him to have developed here. Apparently that would have been Bismack, but otherwise we haven't had a young guy who can play the role Ewing did during his career. Ewing will be gone sooner rather than later though.

Silas is interesting one too, he is a very smart guy and could be a great head coach. I think he had a big impact on helping Steph Curry develop while he was in Golden State. I wonder if he would actually consider going back to Golden State in the same position he is now or if he'd stick with 'the home team'. I guess the difference is being the "top" assistant coach rather than being further down the bench. Maybe he is waiting to see if Ewing leaves and gives him the opening here.

I honestly can't say I know a ton about how assistant coaches function in the NBA-- as compared to all the position specific/offense or defense coaches in NFL-- it seems like they have specialties but they end up coaching everyone. We very well could be going into next season without two of our assistant coaches though and I wonder how that affects the team and the development of our guys.

Am I the only one who doesn't think Ewing isn't HC material? I think there's a reason he's been stuck as an assistant. I'd rather have Silas as our "top" assistant.

I would rather have Silas as our associate as well I think, but Ewing definitely deserves a shot more than guys like Jason Kidd and Derek Fisher who went straight from playing to being head coaches.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
