Really, he just needs the players and Mark Davis to like him. Gruden would still be the coach now, if not for the email scandal, and he was doing a fairly mediocre job.
Off topic. What do you think about the Knicks re-signing OG? Besides the fact that it was a ridiculous amount of money for a 3 and D guy,
reply
For OG, that money is insane. He's getting paid almost as much as Trae Young and he's like the third option (at best).
That said, I like the Knicks roster quite a bit. It seems like they're specifically gearing up to take on the Celtics.
reply
I don't know how they are going to stay under the cap but they should be really good.
reply
Do you think they can beat the Celtics? I'm still concerned that White and Holiday will be too daunting for Brunson.
reply
I think they can but we will see. It's hard to repeat.

Too many players from Villanova

It's surprising how well that's working, but I'm a believer in the 'Nova Knicks.

I thought the best coach was the interim guy in 2021
Rich did a great job
reply
Yeah, my dad and I were pissed that they didn't give him a chance to earn the fulltime job.

Especially since Josh McDaniels was hired after him
2 seasons wasted
Who was the OC in 2021?
reply
I don't remember, because Gruden was essentially the OC before he got canned and then Carr basically managed the offense the rest of the season.

Greg Olson
Not the tight end
reply
That's right. I'm not sure what he actually did for the team, beyond getting Gruden's coffee.
