Unlike those other teams we actually have picks and aren’t above either apron lol
Vivek is like a small scale Dolan
Which may be all the more reason he doesn't want to throw big $ around for assistants, not necessarily evidence he wants to throw good money after bad. Personally, I think it's silly to keep Christie as HC. Also, silly to hire BoJax. Also, don't go down the amateurish path of hiring a legit HC and then telling the HC that he has to hire X,Y,Z as his assistants. Christie probably did a good job for Brown as an assistant, but I think he's seen as more of team mascot around the league than a legit HC with some gravitas. And yes, image is important for this team. Probably more important than for other teams with better reputations. Here's a novel idea: Spend the $ to get a legit HC and give him the freedom to bring in whoever he wants as assistants and hopefully don't fire him after a couple of years.
so goodbye Deebo, hello more flow type players and maybe bigger roles for guys like Devin.
No big name coach is going to come here with the uncertainty we have. I'd give Doug a 3 year deal with the understanding he coaches to win for the next half a season and if that doesn't pan out he coaches a total reset as a talent development guy and role model before being kicked to a FO job as a thank you for your service.
If Perry knows what he's doing and saw Devin last night, he looked like one of the ones you don't have to worry about showing up when the games actually matter.
Doug needs to go back to the assistant role until he gets the strategy. We need someone like Michael maloneI think Doug has the personality, conviction, and ability to connect with players to be a good head coach. He will need technical/ strategic support.
So now he’s the guy that did this and not Vlade? Or was this before Vlade
pretty much what I thought, looks like there will not be a rebuilding
Do you believe Scott Perry would come here if he knows he can’t be the one making decisions? I honestly do not.A guy like Connelly would want actual control and freedom to make decisions. That’s DOA with Vivek as owner.
This. I honestly think this team can be much better with pieces that fit around them, as well as LaRavia, Keon and Keegan. A real training camp and not just slapping 6 new guys together would be nice.
God i love Monk so much
Dude gonna have a bounce back year after spending all summer working with new Kings head assistant Bobby Jackson.
(Also it sounds like we are totally running this roster back next year lmao)

He was one of several guys brought in to handhold Vlade. Notably around the 2017 draft. He left for NY after 3 months. Replaced by Brandon Williams who is the moron that pushed everyone towards MBIII. I guess that's probably another reason I'm bitter about his short tenure here.So now he’s the guy that did this and not Vlade? Or was this before Vlade
That is the problem and uncertainty when a new GM comes in. These are not his players, so he won’t necessarily keep them around long term.
Hopefully Perry is smart enough to keep the young guys (DC, Keon, Keegan, LaRavia) around and trade those vets that’s not in the long term plans for some decent assets.

I'd love to know what our record was with a healthy sabonis and doug christie coaching.Christie did a BETTER job than Brown did this season at the HC spot at the end of the day.
It's possible but what big money would be required for an assistant anyway? People always say that about Vivek spending money but then there goes Vivek, flushing more money down the toilet, lol. The dude didn't even like Brown and still let Monte give him a fat payday.

I think this is exactly why an actual HC search should happen, even if Doug is the front runner. I thought he did a very good job this year. If the Fox drama doesn’t happen, I could have seen us winning 45+ games which would have been a great accomplishment. But he also didn’t have his own staff and couldn’t really implement anything new - especially after the Fox trade. So I think that’s why we ended up with the simplistic iso ball so often (in addition to the poor roster construction/fit of Deebo/Levine/Monk). I really don’t have a great feel as to whether Doug is a good tactician or not. Let him interview, give his vision for the team — short and long term. Does that fit with Perry’s vision? If so I’m perfectly fine with him a coach the next couple years at least.What's the strategy though? He was very clear when he took over, he wasn't going to put in a new system with that much change going on. He did the exact right coaching move by keeping it simple if the idea was to win games in the interim.
This . Just another year off him destroying the city’s reputation. I actually feel bad for the players a team in Seattle would be far more successful and less embarrassingAs long as Vivek is here, it’s hard to have faith in any move made by Sacramento
IMHO, I would be fine with Doug Christie as coach next year. I think he has potential to be one of the better HC in the league if given a fair shake.
The new GM would need to balance out this roster with more length and defense to make this team work. But, it shows now, being at #9 after all the tumult, we are not that far from making this team a good playoff team.
