An interview with McAdams by Shu on the Big Jab.

So, one guy says several guys say he's not highly regarded.

Maybe he's not. Let's see if he gets hired and if it's a higher-level job.

Too small a sample size, and those differences are de minimis, imho.

Durbin has more PAs than Duran.

IKF & Monestario point well taken.

One guy? Sean has been around many years, and is pretty well connected as is Cotillo who he works with, so I have no reason to believe he doesn’t know what he talking about.

I'm not disagreeing with you.

I respect him.

I was just reporting what I actually heard Sean say. He also said that may change now that that Tek is not affiliated with Boston, or ends up somewhere with Cora again.

I was just asking for link as I found one site that stated he was highly regarded by other teams.

According to sources Tek isn’t that highly regarded outside of Boston.

He has interviewed elsewhere and never left.

Yes I believe SF in 2023, but Melvin got the job. Wasn’t Carrabis putting out there that he heard that Tek was the first one that the Three Stooges fired, and, then Cora, and the rest of the coaches went after?

The first firing was supposed to be Fatse, I thought. It steamrolled from there.

It steamrolled  from someone, and  I don’t  know if Cora was the original target, but became a target as things unfolded.

I'm not sure there was an order of choices. I'm thinking they went into this thinking "Let's clean house and who should we keep around."

They might have wanted to can VTek but worried about their precious image.

I doubt the upper brass thought about including Brez, but maybe they did.
