Knicks are leaving no stone unturned in their coaching search, casting a wide net to find their new coach.

Hi Sir,
We're from The New York Knicks. We were wondering if you had a moment to talk about your coaching experience.

So has any reporter heard anything about the interviews?

They've reported the Knicks have interviewed Brown and Jenkins, not anything on how they went.

1. Unlock our offense. We have more than enough to be top 10.
2. Get one of the four rookies some rotational minutes (most likely Kolek)
3. Fix KATs stupid ass drop coverage.
4. Extend your bench or change rotation if we are struggling.

If this is Taylor Jenkins so be it. Every coach has its flaws but I can live with a coach that understands analytics and have an open mind on anything.

Word is that Jenkins has terrible rotations

Well fck him then... next coach to interview...

Because I don't think Brown is an apocalyptic scenario, I'm actually rooting for this now.

As an aside, and being completely serious, I think Brown has two huge image problems that have nothing to do with his abilities as a head coach.

1) His name is generic as hell. There is nothing intriguing, dynamic, intimidating, or mysterious about "Mike Brown". It's an NPC name of a guy in a throw away role - as intentionally basic, meaningless, and forgettable as possible.

2) He looks every single bit the part of the description above in point 1. You couldn't create a more basic looking MFer if you tried. He looks like he'd hoop at the park wearing this

Would you hire a 55 year old with 28 years of experience with a proven track record but some red flags or would you hire a 40 year old with 12 years experience and a few red flags. Keep in mind your goal is to elevate your company to be an industry leader and make the most profit ever next year.

Don't forget about the promising intern

We don't need the media to know that the Knicks are a clown show. They have proved it objectively.

Just hire Rick Brunson and get it over with. That's the direction the Knicks are going. They don't want to piss Jalen off and see a repeat of the KP scenario.

Hire Mike Brown. he's shown he's adaptable as a HC, he's grown from each stop, something that is the opposite of Thibs. Thibs issues have been his issues since the Bulls days and he's stuck to his guns, Mike Brown went to GS as lead assistant and grew as a coach

look at what he did with the Kings. he ended the playoff drought there, and had a similar defensively deficient duo at the 1/5 in Fox/Sabonis as we do w/ Brunson/KAT. doing all of it in a tougher western conference and w/o the supporting talent the Knicks have

Fans will eventually love any coach that plays 5 out, which is almost any coach

The fans will be divided no matter who we hire. There will be chaos no matter who it is. We still have people that are mad we fired Thibs. :lol:

Who will be the next coach of the New York Knicks?
