a brain that takes the detours yours does should be examined.....from behind protective glass obviously
Would a LeRoy Billups go around for years saying that he should get a head coaching job without paying dues as an assistant? (I know, he now finally has one whole year under his belt as an assistant.)
As is the case with most cities, those who don't actually live in the city, love to make declarations about how people who do live in the city, feel about said city.
Because it's not Chauncey, which is just about the most choosy and classy name in cold Anglo-Saxon castles. (Don't get me started with c's.)
Anyway, no one has made a case for why Billups is better than the other 50 candidates. Or is it 25 candidates. All of whom have more coaching experience. So I suspect it's all in the name.
Prestige is not everything though. It's going to come to fit, with the roster, coaching style, and relationships.
Well, as they still have a truck plant here, it's ongoing. I guess you've never heard of the Rust Belt? Or lived in a one-industry town? But hey, I bet we have a better Institute of Music than any other comparably-sized town, and our art museum has Picassos and shit.
The Portland I grew up in WAS a one industry town. Lumber and lumber related. Log rafts and slash burners everywhere you looked. When the timber industry tanked, Portland (and Oregon) definitely struggled. But eventually they recovered by encouraging the Silicon Forest, which started the upturn……and diversification. Flint seems to have thrown up it’s hands and said “fuck it”. But that’s just the view from 2000 miles away…..
Flint's first order of business should be drinking water that doesn't kill you. I'm sure the city can move upward from there.
Yep. And have you noticed how quickly both the State of Michigan and the Federal Government have moved on that? How many years has it been? But then, this is the state that has hunting parties with the governor as prey………..
