weird, so chat with Sloan wasn't an interview, just a job offer? Funny to read 4 different interpretations of what was likely the same quote: Trail Blazers @pdxtrailblazers Neil Olshey says the meeting with Jerry Sloan was NOT an interview Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynes Neil Olshey said he offered Jerry Sloan a formal offer. He later took his name out. Mike Tokito @mtokito Olshey said he offered Jerry Sloan the #Blazers job. Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Olshey said he offered Jerry Sloan a chance to formally interview for #Blazers coaching job during their talk. Sloan eventually declined.
The obvious reasons would be the same reasons contractors hire illegal immigrants: They'll work for peanuts, keep their mouth shut, and are easily manipulated. In other words, PA is still refusing to hire a real coach and let him coach the best he knows how.
Jason Quick @jwquick POR coaching search will go deep into July. Olshey said pool to be pared at close of Vegas, then he will deliberate before Allen brought in
Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Someone jokingly told @wessywes2 he was the reason Jerry Sloan declined #Blazers job. He quipped back: "No, I'm the reason he retired." LOL
shit son! Olshey swinging for the fences. CSNNW Report: Phil Jackson turns down #Blazers offer to be their next head coach after team courted him for months |

From this, I think it's pretty obvious that Olshey is not in tank mode. Edit: Funny rep Maris -- I did catch my one unintentional negative (wait is that a double negative again???). LoL
I wonder if they offered him the Presidents job? Wasn't he wanting to do that earlier, or was that the GM job Phil Jackson wanted? Phil is just waiting to see if Howard goes to LA, so I he can coach them to another finals run.
Like Phil would fuck with his win/loss record by not having a MVP to run his team. Doesn't Tex Winter live in Portland? That's all you need.
