For what felt like decades, fans had desperately wanted Jay Wright to leave his post at Villanova and take the head coaching job with the Sixers.

On a recent appearance on the Poz 5 Pod, Wright admitted that he nearly took the job when Ed Stefanski was the Sixers’ general manager.

Narrowing down the timeframe of when this could’ve happened, it sure seems like Wright could’ve saved us all from watching the disastrous Eddie Jordan season.
