Its not the FO. I imagine even Dumars wanted his own guy.

Gayle:

1) Does not want to pay 2 HCs again.

2) likes Willie because he doesn't curse and is religious

Pretty clear that Gayle had enough of paying multiple HCs during the Griff years. And also she loves Willie so here we are.

My theory is that Willie was promised job security if he went along with the tank last year.

He now has a Byron Scott level leash around his neck and Borrego is the preferred HC in waiting.

I have nothing to base this off other than it being the only thing that makes logical sense.

The other scenarios are just fricking depressing.

This isn't even up for debate.

I mean, the fact that Griff wanted to fire Willie last season was explicitly cited as part of the reason that Griff was fired.

. But Green, like Allen before him, is beloved by ownership. So much so that David Griffin seeking permission to dismiss Green earlier this year was a huge factor in the loss of Griffin’s own job. And now Dumars will inherit the lame-duck coach, and perhaps even be told to offer an extension.

Yeah..We come up with the dumbest shite when inside sources say other wise

Dude it was written by Marc Stein that Griff was fired because he wanted Willie fired, ownership chose Willie, they mandated Dumars keep Willie, it’s 100% on them

Yet people here continue to praise Gayle as a top innovative young owner.

Seriously, literally no one has praised Gayle as a top innovative young (wat?!!!) owner. The last time that Gayle was praising by most of this board was when she hired Griff, and he got her to invest in the practice facility, cafeteria, etc. That's also about when she bought the Squadron.

No one here, and I mean no one, has claimed that Gayle is anything like a "top innovative young owner" in years.

You really need to be banned, longhorn dude.

If you have evidence to the contrary, now would be a good time to show/say it

It’s one of the only logical theories. Only thing is how would he have known this without knowing who would be GM? I guess you assume Gayle told him.
