NEWS: RC out | Kidd hired as head coach & assembling staff

[Dahlsim]

Holy crap. Great connection.

Kidd turns down the interview on June 6....RC steps down on June 17. 

I think that lends credence to my guess that much of this has been in motion for awhile.

I claim Mavs Nostradamus status on this one.  Saw Carlisle & Kidd as the most likely potential moves immediately post Donnie, although wasn't outright sure.  My crystal ball was a little foggy that day.    

For the record I really like the Kidd move and the Carlisle move. I think Rick had a great run and was out of moves for this group.   
Kidd tbqh I have no idea as how good a real coach he is or will be, X's and O's etc. but in theory he should be after his stellar HoF PG career.   He's young so I hope he assembles a great staff around himself.  

One day I may have to tell the story about how I met Jason Kidd, very briefly ... at the Playboy Mansion.
