    Assuming this report is right (which I'm not, but if I were assuming that) then apparently he didn't like what he heard on his interview day. the thought plickens.

    From Danny Ferry

    "I can truthfully say that I have not turned down the job because it has not been offered to me."


    To me, that was worded in a way that says I told them I would not accept it if they offered it to me.

    I think the Blazers will be surprised by the interest their GM position will receive.

    When is John Nash interviewing?

    Too bad Chris Dudley went into politics. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts he could have become a very good GM.

    If he truly does turn it down, that is sad for the franchise.

    Sounds bogus to me. Why would Ferry interview for the job if he wasn't interested in it?

    Perhaps he got the heebie jeebies after meeting with Miller and PA? Perhaps he was willing to take the job if we offered him $5MM a year for five years? Perhaps he demanded complete control and we were unwilling to give it to him?

    If we felt Danny Ferry was our best option, it's even sadder for the franchise.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Maybe interviewing with Portland strengthens his interviewing/negotiating position with other franchises. Never hurts to be visibly wanted by someone.

    I'm so confused. Forget if an official offer was made, does he not want the job?

    Because if he doesn't want it after meeting with the Blazers that is bad news. This is an up and coming playoff team. If a GM looking for a job doesn't want the position, maybe all the bad stuff about working for PA is true or maybe Ferry heard Blazers are not in a win at all cost mode but rather budget mode. I don't like either one of those.
