I think EB and Sam have a decent rapport and making Sam learn another new system might be detrimental. Ben Johnson could be the next Mcvay/Kyle Shan so missing on him would hurt, and BB is him but I question his motivation to bring a new team from the gutter at this point in his career.
Gun to my head I choose Ben Johnson cuz I do think he’s the next up and coming young coach and we’ve missed on too many of those. I wish we gave the team to EB I really thought Ron was gone after yesterday; we need to see what EB can do with the team in his hands imo. BB seems like a wildcard but the rumors are certainly there rn. Those seem like the most likely 3 to me though
Ron is the tank commander. He also fought through absolute lows of this team while battling cancer we’re gonna keep him till his contract expires out of respect I think
If they’re in tank mode then theoretically the next HC if Ron is fired would be a lame duck coach. Why waste the money on a new contract just keep Ron and keep tanking
