76’ers pass on Thibs, hire Eddie Jordan

Tom Thibodeau must be a horrible interview, because I think being the architect of a devastating defense that has vastly improved every team he's been with is qualification enough to get a shot at a head job.

But the 76'ers were wowed, apparently, by Eddie Jordan.  Eddie checks in with a stellar, great, good, crappy 230-288 career record… and an 8-18 record in 4 playoff appearances.  I mean… with credentials like that… it's no WONDER he beat out Thibs.

So congrats, Philly.  Instead of hurting a division rival and bringing in a proven defensive wiz… you've chosen to be underwhelming and mediocre.  We Celtics fans thank you.
