Yeah, I hear it. To be fair to Jim, I don't think Jeanie has his back (but thats a 50/50 blame thing to me) and I think this was horrible timing for him, as the league and salary structure has changed so dramatically right when he was dumped in charge.
But all that aside, this is just a wretched signing. And it shows how low things are right now for us. I mean Whiteside won't even talk to us?
(I assume Jim at least tried to talk to him...even I dont think Jim is so inept that he forgot to even ask)
Who the heck is Whiteside? Guy is far from a great...and we can't even meet?
Whatever....honestly he just needs to step down. This isn't his thing. People around here have ZERO leash for coaches, and yet this guy just keeps getting a pass. It's weird.
We got Ingram. I am excited about that end of things. Our youth will be fun to watch (hopefully).
4 out of 5 of his siblings wanted him to step down. Jeannie thinks he made up some stuff about wanting DAntonie in poor health. The fact that she thinks her brother would even do something like that makes me uncomfortable. I just root for him to be an owner and do what owners do. Enjoy the good life. It's time. We have to hold him to his timeline and that is the end of the upcoming season.
