*** Official Ryan Saunders Interim Coach Thread ***

[flexbuffchest]

Really happy about this. If it doesn't work out then no harm done and we hire a new guy in the off season. It's awesome though to see a guy of such character and ties to MN have a chance to coach.

[Style]

I’m hopeful that his youth will be a positive attribute in the sense he embraces analytics and player relationships.

[morneaumvp]

Nepotism, country club etc.

That said I like Ryan, I hope he does well and earns the job.

[bri]

We'll see how he does, hopefully he's more adaptable than Thibs was.

[LordNu]

Good luck to him, I hope he surprises us all.

[SHAFA]

I hope as a joke he walks into the lockerroom tomorrow and just drops Flip’s tome of a playbook on the floor, scans the room and walks out.

[j2j]

I'm pulling for him.

[Beef Supreme]

Insanely talented big man...
Mercurial wing...
Saunders as head coach...


It's worked before!

[Thrillkill]

I'm pulling for him.

Me too. But let's hope he has the in game chops to match his development rep.

[Style]

Will we see someone else join the staff for the rest of the season since we are now down two coaches with Greer also out?

[Dickface McSlapnuts]

I believe Ryan will do well. I’m pulling for him.

[winforlose]

I doubt he stays head coach rest of the season. I think this will last about 2-3 weeks (win or lose) as the wolves likely have a list of people they really want and begin the interview process. Also we need a new POBO who will probably want a say in head coach.

[YBBR]

Good luck to him. Maybe we'll strike it rich with Saunders. People are high on his ability.

Best case scenario is Ryan turns out to be the guy, right? How could it not be?

[morneaumvp]

Hopefully the players pull for him and buy in, since his dad drafted both Karl and sort of Wiggins

[YBBR]

Who is that dude in back? With the hair? Looks like Vincent Vega or something...

[j2j]

I'm pulling for him.

Me too. But let's hope he has the in game chops to match his development rep.

Agreed. Doesn't matter how much you know about the game or how well you can develop players in practice, it is different come game time and you're sitting first chair.

Is that Bjelica?

Be a pizza

[YBBR]

So he does look like Vincent Vega. Confirmed.

[sh1mmyya]

I mean, he has some dapper ass suits. Gotta count for something.

[morneaumvp]

[qrocks]

Good luck to him, I hope he surprises us all.

agreed!

[shoteh]

Hope some of flips magic as a respected coach is in jared leto

[Decker23]

Luke Walton is a coach. Why not?

[Thrillkill]

I'm pulling for him.

Me too. But let's hope he has the in game chops to match his development rep.

Agreed. Doesn't matter how much you know about the game or how well you can develop players in practice, it is different come game time and you're sitting first chair.

We have had no shortage or really talented players recently who don't have a clue how to win. Big difference between teaching a guy how to shoot the 3 better and putting him in a spot to get a good open 3.

GO GET ‘EM RYAN!!

GO WOLVES!!

[Joboo]

I don't think this will work but I hope it does... wishing for the best it would be a great story.

[memyworld]

But will it get awkward?

[morneaumvp]

But will it get awkward?

Thats his own fault for not getting to know Glen enough to enter his Rolodex/Christmas card rotation
