all this talk about how hard it would be to fire becky made me think that if that kinda sentiment were real, there is no way Dame asks out if she's hired. not sure you could say the same if it were MDA.
I don’t like what I’ve heard about Becky on this board but that was just one source and I was a big fan of hiring her before then, so I’d probably still be on board and just hope that all that wasn’t true. I’ve been all in on Billups though, and he if he’s getting a second interview ownership is probably comfortable with him as well. He’s my first choice. Barry is still the sleeper tho imo.
ownership comfort is prolly a given for all these guys getting second interviews. but this is the part of the process where the candidates will actually meet with jody and they're gonna get Dame's opinions. think this is where Becky will shine.
Btw no one actually reported that Billups would take a second interview with Boston, only that Boston hoped to get one. Not like it would matter much if he did get one, but I still think the Portland job is his to lose.
I doubt dame will be involved in the final stages. All the final candidates are most likely already vetted by him. He’s not needed for the rest. Imagine getting to interview and decide your future boss. Makes no sense.
happens quite a bit in corporate america. i've interviewed candidates for a position that became my manager a year later (also eventually led to me leaving the company, but regardless). but dame's level of involvement is the question. i don't think he's gonna sit in and listen to them answer questions in the same room as Jody et al. but it's naiive to think he's not getting the lowdown on their visions and he will inevitably convey to Olshey his thought on that.
If those are the two options I don’t think I would care which one gets hired, even if Billups is my pick. I know Dame (And nurk and CJ) likes Becky and she comes from the best tree. I find it skeptical that this “report” comes out immediately after Woj tweets though.
ya i dunno why berger framed that tweet as such. makes it seem like Becky would get the job regardless of her credentials. doubt that's the case.
Btw there’s no way dame can ask for a trade after a woman gets the job for the first time hahahahaha (that was a joke I don’t think he’d ask for one anyway)
Too many words to read.... I was just talking about the amount of talent he had to work with. He BETTER have had some success.
