Ewing, an assistant coach for the Orlando Magic, will interview with the Jordan-owned Charlotte Bobcats for their head coaching position, once the Magic's playoff run is over, Yahoo Sports reports. (The Magic, face elimination Tuesday night in Indianapolis).

Ewing and Jordan are not only Hall of Famers but longtime friends, so a possible working relationship is not a surprise. As CBSSports.com's Matt Moore notes, Ewing has openly lobbied for positions including the Knicks gig when it came available.

Last month, the Bobcats announced they would not renew coach Paul Silas' contract after the team finished 7-59 this season for the worst winning percentage in league history (.106).

If Ewing gets the gig, he has his work cut out for him. The Bobcats were last in the league in scoring and shooting percentage and lost 22 games by 20 or more points.

Golden State Warriors assistant Mike Malone, current assistant Stephen Silas and former Blazers coach Nate McMillan have also been rumored as candidates for the job.

Meh...

I dont know if I'd like this or not. Ewing just doesn't seem like a head coach to me. I don't think he's done a great job on D. Howard. Howard is still limited offensively, and he was supposed to be helping with that. Oh well, I trust Cho knows what he's doing when it comes to stuff like this.

dwight will never be nearly as skilled [offensively] as patrick ewing was imo. he lacks finesse and has a terrible shooting stroke. dwight would be better off with shaq as a mentor... a lot more similarities in their games. too bad shaq hates him.

Heard on espn and wfnz today that MJ is going to have a hands on approach to finding the next coach and there was no mention of cho. I heard that MJ plans to interview a fuging assistant coach at st johns, too.

Man this is getting more and more embarrassing by the week and I love it.

Jordan has a prime opportunity to make a good coaching decision and move this franchise forward. I hope that he does not stick with his MO and hire one of his buddies.

Another disaster like Sam Vincent would set this team back even further.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
