Tim Kawakami in the San Jose Merc has a column today saying Larry and Stanford might be interested in each other. He doesn't have anybody on the record about it, but it wouldn't be totally shocking. Stanford's desperate to save face after botching the Trent Johnson thing, and Brown might like the elitist prestige of the Stanford name for a couple of years.

From what I hear of Bob Bowlsby, he and Larry Brown are a perfect match.
Have fun with that, Stanford. Hope Eldrick stays far, far away from Maples ...

Did he intercept another Neil F'n O'Donnell pass!?!

Starman has no idea why he just started gnashing his teeth.

Did he make sure to quit "the right way"?

Might be tough to get a coach who left his last two programs on probation past the Stanford administration, which, oddly enough, still dictates policy to the athletic department.

Apparently Stanford was willing, but LB wasn't.

He's holding out for the Leafs' GM job.

Bobcats fire Sam Vincent, opening the chair for Brown, the master vulture/backstabber.

It'll be a hoot watching him try to coach that ****-ass awful roster.
And, by about Thanksgiving, he'll be shocked -- truly shocked!!! -- that the players can't really "play the right way," and then he'll start tanking games (again), using ridiculous mismatched lineups in an attempt to make Jordan look like an idiot (like Isiah, he doesn't really need that much help).
Then, by about Valentine's Day, he'll be looking to jump to the Heat or Denver or the Lakers or somebody else looking for a coach.

LB should wait for George Karl to get pink slip, which seems inevitable after today. Coaching that group in Denver seems like a much better fit than the Bobcats.

As well as the Pistons, if they flame out against the Sixers. LB could have his choice of three of his former teams (Pistons, Knicks, Nuggets) to coach. O'Brien in Indy and Frank with the Nets are on thin ice too, aren't they?? Dunleavy with the Clippers can't be sitting very safely, either.

The ownership group in Charlotte is a much better "fit" for Larry Brown. After all, if Michael Jordan hires him, he'll get a nice pat on the head from Dean Smith for looking out for their own.
I feel bad for Sam Vincent, but given the track records of Jordan as a front-office executive and Bob Johnson as an owner, he knew what he was getting into. And instead of getting support from the front office, he got thrown in front of the train.
Yup ... those are your Charlotte Bobcats.
