I got this information 3rd hand so take it for what it's worth but I've heard Borrego is pretty racist in private and that's why he keeps getting fired despite having seemingly better results than his competition when he's a head coach

I'm choosing to take a more positive view of Graham's current FO hiring process. He hired his right hand guys and then paused his FO search to focus on hiring the right head coach. Once that's complete, he will go back to filling out the FO.

I have nothing to prove that's what he's doing, and there's a good possibility his FO hiring spree is done. He does work for the Reinsdorf's after all. :/ But I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he's proven otherwise.

Yeah pretty much none of those names mean anything to me, but poaching talent from OKC might be a wise move.

Definitely not a thrilling coaching search, but that’s because I just don’t think it matters that much at this stage of the rebuild.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the only thing that really matters at this stage is for the head coach to not be a complete doofus who makes life more difficult for the players.

Is it possible to find a great head coach now? Sure, and I’ll be rooting for it. But the team is likely going to be young and bad for the next couple of years, so the impact of coaching will be hard to diagnose unless they’re a complete mess like Jim Boylen.

Unless we find some luck with this hire, we’re likely going to be looking for another new coach three years from now. It’s just how rebuilding usually works.
