Well, I did not expect this today:
Scott Layden will continue as general manager and Ryan Saunders will take over as interim head coach.
The timing is quite surprising, with two plus years remaining on his contract, though Glen Taylor’s unhappiness with Thibs was not a secret. Taylor has made clear that he expects results this season, but I thought Thibs would get the entire year to show them.
I guess Taylor did not like the direction things were heading, and decided to make a change now.
Ryan Saunders gets to audition for the Wolves and other teams, though my gut reaction is he is not the guy long term.
