Hanson might be a fine coach, but his success was largely credited to being Davis' guy. I'm fine with turning over that entire regime over time

It should be noted that Griffin has said multiple times now how surprised and encouraged he was with how many really, really talented, good people were already on staff when he got here. From the coaching staff to the front office.

That a lot of it he feels was just not having everyone on the same page, working cohesively, and pointed in the right direction. That there was a lack of synergy so to speak, that he doesn’t blame on them, but that there are a lot of top level guys around this organization.

So I think anyone wanting a long-term flushing of the organization is going to need to realign their expectations or be prepared to be disappointed.

Personally, I’m with Griffin on this. It was always clear that we had good people throughout this organization but that Demps and Tom weren’t maximizing that with the right investments and leadership that Gayle has. We gave Demps credit but I doubt he was single handedly finding every one of the diamond in the ruff players for instance.
