I heard somewhere that one of Morris' downfalls as a head coach was that he was the players' pal as an assistant/position coach and that, when he became head coach, players weren't receptive to the sterner/bottom-line mentality that you have to have as the ultimate authority. I worry that, if KS were to become HC here, there may be that effect. Not sure though.

Ultimately, I think KS is going to make somebody a helluva head coach. It might be another 5-10 years, but he will win a SB as a HC.

It IS a difficult transition to be promoted and supervise the group you once worked with......
But as you say......somewhere
