I am sure there will be softball questions tossed

Very soft questions, and unless I missed anything, just one sentence thanking Brown for his work and breaking the Playoff drought at the very end of the interview.

McNair doesn’t divulge any real info to the media usually. The one thing that was slightly notable was he basically said they want a bigger sample size with this group under Doug before making a move, so likely means no move for a week or two at least.

A very interesting interview with Mark Jones. Definitely got the impression that some ground rules were set before the FO agreed to do it.

One recurring theme was that the guys are responding well to Doug right now. Also that Doug has a lot to learn and underscoring that there are no foregone conclusions here regarding the future. Monte is acting like someone who has seen the fire up close and knows he is fortunate to be in this decision-making role....right now.

Only in Sacramento would this be allowed to stand. If they were in New York or Philly the media would just start ignoring them.
