[HOTDON]

I'm not sure what kind of shot he has at landing the job, but this article says he has thrown his hat in the ring.

I want to coach the suns too!

Good for Jeff, but how do you give a contending franchise reigns to a guy with no coaching history?

 

[CyGuy33]

I don't doubt Jeff's knowledge of the game or his ability to coach but I do agrea with isuarch, he hasn't been an assistant or head coach at any level. It would be very difficult to just hand over the team. But I guess in the NBA it seems to happen alot. Marc Jackson was a finalist the Knicks.

He can start his resume as a recruiting assistant to Coach Mac

I think Avery Johnson was a first-timer. Greg Popovich, too.

Of course, they had been assistants first.
