Re: Even More Good News

I am not a big O'brien supporter largely because he is a terrible in-game coach but I respect the fact that he can get these prima donnas to play hard for him.  

That said, if we were to get rid of obie, who do people think would make a good coach.  I think silas would be good but I am not that grounded on his style, though I have heard he is good with big men.  Who else is out there that people think will be better than o'brien? 

While I think a piece of lint could do a better job than wallace (unless that lint's name was pitino and then it would be a push) and therefore anybody would make a better gm, i think there are actually worse choices to coach than o'brien.  If we get rid of him we need to choose wisely (to overstate the obvious), so who would be a good fit?

You can look at this in one of two ways:

1) Either O'Brien is trying to force the Celtics and Ainge to
make a quick decision on extending his contract.

                                        or

2) He sees the writing on the wall, and knows that Ainge the new GM will
bring
in his own coach and team philosophy.  And so it's best to seek another
coaching position, while his value is at its highest.
