We’re learning that Doc Rivers offered Larry “I can never finish what I started” Brown a job as an assistant coach on his staff. Say what?
“The way we left it, I told Doc I was 90 percent sure I was coming,” says Brown. But Brown changed his mind after discussing the Boston offer with 76ers owner Ed Snider, who convinced Brown to remain as executive VP in charge of basketball.
And for that, I say thank you to Ed Snider. Doc basically offered the job to the man who might have replaced him had the team struggled this season. Look, Larry Brown is a great coach (click for resume) who won a championship with the Pistons in 2004. But there’s always a sh*t-storm of controversy surrounding this guy. In my expert opinion, he’s not worth the trouble.

Is Doc really that dumb?
“Hey… I know how to solidify my standing as Head Coach. I’ll hire a guy who can replace me after the first 3 game losing streak.”
This proves his stupidity. Like Brown wouldn’t be a threat? C’mon even if Doc made it through the first season and they didn’t win a title….there would be whispers.
