I beat ya to it! ;-p

I think we'll see guys like Porter and Elie as Assistants. I think we'll have some legit coaching here on out.

I think they did their due diligence and found that Paul was the best fit all-around. I;m really curious as to who he hires as assistants.

Based on all those we had to choose from I think we did just fine. I also like the idea of Porter and Elie as assistants. I just hope he does well enough to stay around for more than two years. Having a different coach every year drives me nuts. I would almost think it better to have a mediocre coach for several years in a row than have good coaches that change every year. I just hope he works out.

You may all visualize me doing a mini happy dance right now!

And if you are really visualizing that, you are a sick and twisted individual.

Welcome to the Kings Coach

Does anyone know who Westphal had on his staff back in the day?

Porter and Elie do sound like promising assistants.

Eh, he is an offensive guy so hopefully we can spice it up a little.

Cant be any worse than the last 3.

Yeah the belly movements are horrible!!!

I'm happy with this hire! I'm glad we didn't go with a guy out of left field. Now I hope we get this coach the necessary talent to do his job as well as keep him around for a few years! I do not want to see another head coach for a while!
