Adam may be right. I have felt that Dominik would be the second choice from the time all the names were floated. There is one thing about a Dominik hire. I think it means that Herm will be around longer. I do not think that is a terrible thing. I do think we need to rework the staff. We should not ever lose another game due to poor clock management or a waste of time outs. Our defense has gone down for the last two years. Whatever happens – change will be good for our team.

I’m hoping that it means we are getting Pioli. However, it looks like the logical choice as Pioli’s number two choice (behind Ferentz) is about to be named the Denver HC. Looks like dragging our feet may have cost us a shot at McDaniels.

That was exactly what Lombardi said, but I know what you are talking about. He said that some candidates have been contacted, which could mean that Pioli was the guy. He said it also could mean that it just wasn’t those candidates. I think Dominik is still on the short list should things fall through.

In reference to the story of Dominik being officially removed from candidacy……..Michael Lombardi said he has heard that all of the people that interviewed for the GM job so far other than Pioli have been called and told thanks, but no thanks.
