that is a glass half empty look
half full: EB could be the replacement for RR if he performs well
The only scenario I see where EB replaces Ron is if he really gets this offense humming, and everything else falls apart. If he gets the offense humming and they win 10+ games, Ron isn't going anywhere. It may propel EB to opportunities elsewhere, but not here.
Anything less than 10 wins and they are all likely done.
I gotta be honest, the gap between 1 and #2/3 is so big it makes me wonder how we ended up here.
If he does offer EB the job that's a hell of a risky transfer for EB - he could be looking at being on the street in a year or less if Ron can't get us out of mediocrity.
Roman is well qualified and would do a good job here.
All things considered I think we're pretty lucky to have EB and GR at the top of our list.

I have to agree with you here. For me it's another example of RR really trying to get this thing going. He could have taken the easy route with Shurmer / Zampese, but he cast a wide net, interviewed nine candidates, and now the two most qualified candidates (EB & GR) appear to be the favorites to take the position.

Very true. Obviously best case scenario he comes in, turns Howell/co. into studs and departs next year for a HC gig after saving Ron's ass.
That report about prospective owners contacting Payton about a potential HC gig here is a red flag though - new owner might not care to wait on Ron.

I'd be surprised if EB doesn't accept the job today.. I think Ron and Co. will put a great offer out

i was thinking the same, because the D will probably stay solid

Remember though, as Mooby also alluded to, that the potential owners already want an upgrade at HC.

What are the other examples of Ron really trying to get things going?
