Makes sense. Who’s going to design our offense?

Wonder if Alvin Gentry is still in our front office or not.

A Kings reunion I wouldn't necessarily mind: Doug, Bobby, and Darius!!!
Mike Woodson would be a good hire as well.
We've had legitimate nepo hires (ahem, Vlade/Peja ahem), but anyone complaining about these is silly. Both Bobby J and Darius are long-time assistants that are very deserving of being on an NBA bench. In this case, it's an added bonus they have ties to Sacramento.

Honestly I think Vivek is stacking the staff with ex-Kings because he is going to tank and wants to cushion the fan reaction.

Best of luck convincing the rest of the fanbase (myself included) and media to believe this.

“We reached the end of the road, and it was time to change the situation, as I had no opportunities to move up,” Songaila said. “I no longer wanted to just sit on the second assistant bench. The first ‘Spurs’ bench assistants all have four-year contracts, so I had no chance to advance. We talked about this with Pop [Gregg Popovich], and he said it would be better for me to change something, as there would be no room to advance with this team. We decided together that I would leave.”

I assume he still wants that front of the bench role

I would not be mad at all.
While we're at it, though, can we also convince Gregg Popovich to allow us to clone him into a much younger version of himself, so we can hire that dude?

Why would he need to do that when most media members want a proper tank and Carmichael did a voting and a majority of fans wanted a tank. I’m pretty sure vevik would see that poll from Carmichael

Conversely, I think Perry wants people that want to be here. Remember, volunteers, not hostages.
These are not only well qualified candidates, but likely folks that have good feelings about the city and team and WANT to have the team succeed apart from it just being their "job".
If you get some up and coming "name" here, they will likely be looking to leave for LA or NY soon. These guys likely want to be HERE to do it.

Exactly my point.
Honestly, pretty good point. One thing you cannot deny about Doug is he loves Sacramento. He feels like there's unfinished business with this org on the title that the glory year kings missed out on.
Platitudes aside I think Doug actually would take this HC job over any other if he were offered.

"There was a report Tuesday (5/6) suggesting Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach Bobby Jackson will return to Sacramento to join Christie’s staff. That is a strong possibility, but a source with knowledge of the situation told The Bee the Kings have yet to ask the 76ers for permission to speak to Jackson, and there have been no formal discussions at this point."

Hopefully they get Bobby back. Wonder if it costs the Kings a pick or something lol.

Probably important to note that Monte McNair’s old mentor/good friend runs the Sixers haha
