To basically finalize a deal less than 24 hours after firing Griffin is insane


Or maybe Dumars is the one that put the bug in Gayle's ear to fire Griffin. Griff fired before Willie really is surprising to me. I was fully expecting Griff to survive...unless the team decided to trade Zion.

Willie almost feels untouchable. Griff apparently wanted to fire Green mid season and Gayle said no. That was the beginning of the end for Griff

I mean this is the mandate. But I think if there's enough outrage over this, they may push that back by one year

Jake has relationships with the team and the benson orgs are very touchy about media criticizing them. For him to come out blazing against them

The situation is bad

so this was clearly done before the season even ended

no search to find someone with a vision, no long term planning involved

just hiring one of the locals

sell the goddam team

Family man, deeply religious

Gayle loves that. She cares about winning a lot less than those things

Jake is one of the most positive pels beat guys out there. For him to blast them on this hire tells you everything you need to know. Looks like the Pels finally broke Jake

its pretty clear that the rumors are true, Griff wanted to fire Green midseason and that's when Gayle said absolutely not and decided to let Griff go after the deadline.

Dumars has long been in contact with Loomis and Gayle, he is friends with them.

Its clear he got in their ear and got the job a long time ago.

Kushner says that Dumars's family was telling people in league circles several days ago that they were moving to NOLA
