    I'm interviewing to replace him tomorrow. Wish me luck.

    I wish you luck that they laugh at you and slam the door shut on you.

    You can channel the forum's "voice of melt-downs" to the team during timeouts. It would be epic.

    It’s weird Stotts has been here a while, I’ve always been a supporter, players seem to like him, etc, but for some reason that end of year press conference with him and Olshey...just was weird and rubbed me the wrong way. Olshey is who he is. I think he’s ...not great in a press conf vs real life, but that’s just him. Stotts I don’t know. Not sure if he’s the easiest to work with.

    I have no doubt they’ll fire him eventually if they dont have a good season, but it would be pretty awful local PR for them to only give him two months.

    Good luck. I am surprised Minnesota is already looking to replace him.

    My guess, it was part of his deal to take over in the first place.

    He also had half of last year as well though. If they get off to a poor start, it might be tough to keep him on. I don;t know what kind of coach Saunders is, but I think they would have been better off going in a different direction as that franchise has been fucked up for awhile.

    Probably was told he’d be the successor of Brown when he is canned after another early exit next season.
