Seriously, 26 days. This is stuff you talk about during the job interview. Nothing is changing.

I don't think meeting with Monty was apart of the interview process.

It's reasonable to think after discussing being all in on Monty, Langdon wasn't impress with him and decided to move on. Better to move on now than 20 games into the season.

Sounds like Langdon was willing to give Monty a tryout since he wasn't here with Monty last year and Gores said "Only go forward with him if you want him for the longhaul" and Langdon said, "ah, nah, I'm not that into him". Sounds like Langdon was happy to give himself a buffer year but Gores wasn't all about it.

Yup, sure seems like that is how it played out.

I, unfortunately, recently made a post praising Langdon for having the stones for not creating a built in mulligan year by running it back with Monty. I apparently jumped the gun on that, as it appears that he fully intended to create that criticism shield and have that 1 season buffer.

My confidence in TL has already taken a hit.

The buffer year was a really good point that I’ll give credit to Ku Khalil for blasting on his podcast. I don’t think it’s just a consequence that they changed direction a few days after his podcast came out.

but I don’t blame Trajan wanting to give Monty another chance. He already knew Monty.

However I do credit Gores for taking the blame and removing all excuses for Trajans reset. Scapegoating Troy was just another coward move, when really Gores hands were all over the failure.

Now Gores can separate himself from decision making and Trajan will be able to show what he can do with no preset excuses.

Not Monty and Langdon, Gores and Langdon. You don’t think that the subject of who was going to coach came up in the interview? Or rather that it took Langdon 26 days to decide he didn’t want Monty? How long is it going to take for him to sign a free agent? Six months?

This clown show continues……

Or you know they'd let Langdon actually let evaluate the situation with my Monty like they said they would do. 26 days? You know they didn't make it official until like June 1st, and how do you know if Langdon has even been in Detroit for that long? You seem to making stuff up to fit in the holes with what happened here to fit the narrative you're trying to push. You're not the only one.

I swear this fanbase always wants something to be angry at even if they got what they want.

Keep giving your boy Tom the benefit of the doubt. Only in Detroit……

Based on the reports, Gores absolutely let Langdon evaluate the situation with Monty, Langdon did, Langdon decided to keep him on a trial basis, Gores told him to only keep him if he was committing to him for 5 years, and Langdon (read Gores) decided to fire Monty. Seems like the too many cooks in the kitchen is continuing.

Only thing that was reported into regards to this momentum was pointing towards Monty returning. Im thinking that's coming from how Monty perceived things like being blindsided in the Woj article. No one has stated Langdon flip flopped. If I had to guess the whole 5 year commitment thing came about because Langdon was still unsure about Monty. Letting Monty comeback only to fire him mid-season or end of the season was not the thing to do.

I really don’t care about who fired monty, I care about when he was fired. This decision should’ve been done in January along with weaver. Gores was supposed to fire Weaver January, find a new president, give him few weeks to decide on trade deadline if they want more cap space or picks or a contract. They didn’t do that, they kept the same regime and tanked on purpose and that’s why the league punished us in the lottery again. It was blatant tanking yet again. Also the new president would’ve had the rest of the season to evaluate Monty.

Now we are late in finding a coach and that actually has no impact on who we will hire as a coach because there’s some good ones available still.

The impact? Likely the draft. I think Langdon has no idea who the top 5 prospects are and has no intention to draft at 5. We are either trading down or out of this draft and it’s because he studied prospects range 14-24 on the Pelicans and likely wants an asset out of the draft that he can use in free agency trade market. To me he has no intention of signing anyone special, maybe Naji Marshall, I doubt Klay or even Tobias caliber to be honest.

Monty 100% should have been fired midway into the terrible losing streak.

Good riddance. If there is a good coach in there somewhere, he had no interest in showing those qualities here.
