Izzo to Minnesota?

[Basti]

for a second I automatically assumed the Spartans would win because I didn't see the "when healthy"

[Devilzsidewalk]

he'd probably want the Dunleavy role; GM/coach

I wouldn't do that though

Consider the source and lose all hope.

College coaches seem to struggle unless they have pro experience. The pro game is a different monster. Very different. The Diva issues seem to be a key concern which is why teams are hiring former players.

My first hope for this summer is a legit front office with vision. After that I am willing to be patient. A legit front office will target a non-country club coach.

I want a new school GM. Someone like Morey or Presti. Then let them hire whatever coach they want.

Anybody have any reccomendations for up and coming gm candidates?

[Calinks]

Exactly. Blow the front office up and give us a new GM and management. We need direction and focus.

So we need a GPS in our Ford?

I tend to lean toward Dennis Lindsey. I like some of the things I have read about the Shane/Gay trade. But I agree that a new Gm is the first key.
