I understand why Danny left Carroll in charge.
He wants the new coach to come in with a fresh start, his own training camp, his own authority and message, and even the best coach will be squandered by coming in mid-season. It would be good to get a high lottery pick, to say the least.
But I'm thinking that this team needs a Bill Fitch-type leader, a details guy who the players will despise but respect. The old guys are making a comeback: Hubie Brown and Lenny Wilkins are both doing a great. Maybe the Celts could get an old-time coach. Any suggestions? Besides Tommy I mean.
