If the information about the assistant coaches is true, and I have no reason to believe otherwise, then I believe a lot of you are missing a very big Point here. And if that makes me the boogeyman then so be it.
You don't hire a new head coach and then turn around and dictate to that head coach who his staff should be.
You don't pretend to try to be a winning franchise and then turn around and make decisions about assistant coaches based on money. We're not talking about a lot of money here. We're talking about assistant coach money here.
I also think it's naive to believe that decisions about assistant coaches an assistant coach salaries are determined during the interview process of hiring head coach. That process would logically be done after the coaches hired and he has time to start looking at which coaches are available who can he bring on Etc.
Jay Hernandez seems like a very valuable assistant coach, and it would make sense if the front office recommended to Kenny that maybe he should consider keeping some of these assistant coaches around. Ultimately, you have to give the new head coach that authority to make those decisions.
The fact that it is widely known around the league that we do not pay our assistant coaches well and we do not put money towards the budget for assistant coaching staff is embarrassing. Plain and simple. It shows that this franchise is not serious.
Feel free to keep absolving Jordan and the Jordan friends and family work tree of any responsibility when it comes to the state of this franchise for the past 15 years.
