Ahhh..

And here was I was hoping to hear him speak his mind on the Kings and players. Their direction and how the players are developing. I mean it is a nice piece on Elie and I am sure will help with PW being less pissed at him over the Spencer thing, but this I expected more than he is an outspoken guy… Nice hook given the past speaking, but misleading…

I agree.

It was a nice piece, but I would have liked more on his current thinking about the team and players, rather than just a history about the man.

He has a Vision....

…To Coach a Team.
I suspect he is a lifelong Assistant…that will fail in his many stops. aka PJ. But regardless of the Tone this article has, he has been a PLUS for us. Thanks Mario!

I could see him being our head coach one day

Hopefully not anytime soon.

Maybe, but I see a future for Westphal turning the Kings into contenders.

What are the odds that he is the next head coach of the Golden State Warriors?

Less than 50%, probably, but still a candidate, in my opinion.

As long as he doesn't take the Clippers job.

I could see him taking a head coaching job with another team

rather than waiting around for a chance on the Kings.

as some here may know

I’m a fan of Mario, his intelligence, his ability to relate to players, and his overall approach to the game.

I’ve touted him as a head coach candidate for the Kings for quite a while, so I was stoked when they hired him here as an assistant.

I’d feel great about Mario taking the wheel, if the chips fell that way; but I think some other team else will likely scoop him up first.
