It wouldn't surprise me to see a new coach in about 2 years, but that doesn't mean Randy isn't the right guy at the right time. At this point, we need a coach that can instill discipline, work ethic, selflessness and develop players. So far, Randy has seemed pretty solid on these fronts.
At some point in the future, we may need a coach whose strengths are X's and O's and juggling ego's. That might not be Wittman. We can make that coaching change when the time is right.
But here's the thing, nate...there is a pretty decent crop of viable candidates out there NOW (Nate McMillan, the Van Gundy boys (Stan and Jeff), and Jerry Sloan - just to name a few (I don't think Phil Jackson is realistic). If Ted wanted to start fresh, with a rookie coach, he could call up Dave Joerger or Pat Ewing.
Obviously, none of us have a crystal ball, but I doubt this kind of crop of candidates would be available to us in 2014-15.
