Will Hardy expected to be hired as head coach

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Was Spoelstra brought in to tank? That's his profile.

Also Will Hardy a good 3 or 4 years younger than Spo when hired. Not the same

Tony Jones on ESPN 700 said he's hearing that Alex Jensen and the rest of the assistants most likely won't be retained, says Hardy will likely bring in his own staff.

Tony also said Hardy blew the Jazz away in the interview process and separated himself from the rest of the field very quickly. Hardy has a clear vision of what he wants the roster to look like both now and going forward structurally, also has a clear vision of what he wants his system around Donovan to look like.

I would rather have Hardy drill into Donovan some defensive instincts so he doesn't look like a traffic cone.

That's not fair. At least traffic cones get in your way sometimes, and you have to slightly move to go around them. You owe traffic cones an apology!

If they aren't trading Rudy this is a bold move. Alex is kinda the Rudy whisperer from what I hear from McMahon and others.

Hardy is younger than Mike and Gay, barely older than Bojan

Maybe the Jazz can suit him up if they get in foul trouble.

More evidence of a tank

Spoelstra also had/has Pat Riley. And LeBron. He had a big learning curve and developed. An atypical situation in a lot of ways.

Will Hardy fits the profile of someone you bring in for a tank.

I would agree.. young coach coming in to change a culture. It does sound like he is a guy who will theoretically demand execution... though if Quin's voice didn't work I am not sure Hardy will be the changeup the vets respect.

He's like 6'6" so technically we brought in more length on the perimeter... Its the far perimeter... like out of bounds... but we did it!

What's a "new coach for tanking" profile look like?

I was kidding, but yeah the Ainge Boston connection... I mean I know its the post ainge era but Danny boy was on the damn court two seconds after the final buzzer went off. I think he has a relationship there more than say Johnny Bryant.

Perhaps the organization didn't hire Bryant or Jensen as head coach because Bryant is Donny's guy and Jensen is Rudy's guy. That could lead to a winner and loser scenario and cause more division in the locker. Or Don and Rudy are getting traded and Ryan wants a new start. New uniforms, new coach and new team.
