Most would agree that Karl was not a good fit for the Kings. The question is how much of the problem was Karl's ageing, bad health, and maybe outdated coaching style? If the guy is a HOF coach, he deserves some consideration. It also raises the question as to how much of the Organizational problems led to his ineffectiveness. It also brings up the question of other players that struggled with the Kings' and went to other teams and did better like I Thomas and H Whiteside. How much of the problems were Karl and how much were the Kings'?
One of the points I have made repeatedly is that there is almost NO history of players leaving here and doing better.
Just Whiteside, and a couple of veterans that came here and just mysteriously failed, before resuming their careers -- Sessions and Hickson.
Even Isaiah is just the same guy he was here, just getting a few more shots because he has finally got to live his lifelong ambition of pretending to be a #1 option. He was up over 20 last time he was here.
the organization has been ineffective, but maybe the two worst areas of effectiveness have been 1) talent evaluation, especially in the draft, but really anywhere; and 2) coaches.
As I've said you can't develop what is not there. Former Kings draft picks Jimmer, Stauskas (little better down the stretch), TRob, etc. aren't tearing up the league. Former Kings starters like Beno, or Donte, or JT, or Hawes or Chuck Hayes or Thornton aren't running around tearing things up either. To other teams they are end of the benchers.
This was the first year when we had finally managed to accumulate a critical mass of proven pieces that had been put to the test by other, competent organizations.

Breaking exclusive @usatoday: George Karl interested in UNLV job, already in contact with school
Anybody else wondering just how long he's been in contact?

But if they hire him the Kings are off the hook for the remainder of his salary. 
He's running short on time, so if the pay is close I'd think he'd rather be working than drinking a pina colada on the beach somewhere.
