Early David Kahn Press Conference Reactions
2009 May 22
Listened to the David Kahn/Glen Taylor press conference on KFAN. Here are just some very quick initial thoughts:
- Glen Taylor’s rambling description of the process used to get to this hire did very little to dispel the notion that was a disorganized, scattershot affair. The question that is still begging for an honest answer is what exactly led Dennis Lindsey, Tom Penn, and Randy Pfund to express interest in the job and then pull out. Taylor may well be correct that no one turned down an offer for the job. But why were people bailing out before it even got to that point?
- David Kahn said all the right things. Of course, the fact of the matter is that most major hires like this tend to say all the right things at their initial press conference. In a month or so, we’ll be able to more fairly judge where this team is going and what kind of acumen he has.
- If for comic purposes only, the fact that Kevin McHale was “at his cabin” was priceless. Like we expected him to be anywhere else?
