would be typical Brown to ditch a job after such a short amount of time.

Anybody who wants to talk to him can go for it, but in my delusionally optimistic mind, I'm thinking he sticks at SMU. His son is a freshman here, and I thought I heard somewhere that his wife just moved from Philly to be here in Dallas. Can't imagine the Mrs. wanting to be uprooted again so soon. In any event, I would advise us all to pray to the deity of our choice that he stays with us for a while longer.

hey, I hope he stays.

but this is the guy who was having secret talks with the Cavs about taking over while he was still in the middle of a title defense in Detroit. Kind of hard to trust a guy who would was looking for a way out while he was in the conference finals and coaching the defending champs.

This is what he said acc. to the Philly Inquirer

Presently the coach of the men’s basketball team at SMU, Brown, who also linked to the coaching jobs in Brooklyn and with the Los Angeles Clippers, said that any connection between him and any NBA team right now was ‘hypothetical.’ “I love what I’m doing,” said Brown, who coached the Sixers from 1997-2003, leading them to the NBA Finals in 2001. “But I’m in a situation where I think I can help young people. But I don’t ever want to get back into coaching at the professional level unless I have a great relationship with the ownership and people let me share the knowledge I have learned and work with young people that have the same values that I have.” Philadelphia Inquirer

To me, it sounds like he is happy at SMU. /crosses fingers.

If this is the basis of the tweet then that tweet is misleading. Nothing new here.

With LB's past, anything can happen. Lets just hope for the best. Jank would jump into the role but our street cred dies instantly.
