The Philadelphia 76ers took a long time to decide on a head coaching candidate, but according to reports they have finally offered the job to Spurs assistant Brett Brown.
Marc Stein of ESPN is reporting that several high-profile sources have told him that Brown is being urged by peers that care about him to not take the Sixers job.
From Stein:
Word in coaching circles is some Brett Brown associates urging him not to take Philly job in part because Year 1 is guaranteed 60+ losses
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) August 9, 2013
The 76ers, like every other lottery-bound team, wants in on the Andrew Wiggins sweepstakes. That would essentially set Brown up to play rookies and journeyman, on his way to a 60-loss season.
Brown would have to get serious confirmation from Sixers brass with support, financial security and most importantly years to get the job done.
