One view is the Jackets are screwing up yet another coaching hire. Based on the last few years, this is a very reasonable assumption to make.
Another view is Porty, Hedger, etc. have no idea what is going on but they need to get clicks so they are throwing stuff out there while the Jackets are finally doing a thorough job for a critical hiring. Based on the last few years of tweets, this is also a very reasonable assumption to make.
I have no idea what is going on. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. I don’t believe what Porty or Hedger or other people tweet. I am still skeptical of the CBJ management while JD and Priest are still around. So I am mostly staying away from the coaching stuff. When it happens, it happens.
I do think it will be interesting to see who breaks the hiring news. Will they leak to a local guy to build up some goodwill? Will a well connected national guy be the first with the story?
