Guess who wants to coach again?

One commenter on ESPN.com who read the following story had this to say:

"Who has more? Larry Brown and jobs or Elizabeth Taylor and husbands?"

The Answer: Larry Brown. Brown has had 11 different coaching jobs. Taylor has had 7 different husbands in 8 different marriages.

Larry Brown wants to get back into coaching. He's been in the front office for the Philadelphia 76ers for a little while, and decided to resign in the intent of being on the bench for a college or professional team.

First off, the 76ers are in the playoffs, and their Vice President is stepping down to do his own thing? So much for being a team player...what's so hard about sticking around until the playoffs end and supporting your franchise? Oh wait, Larry Brown has always found a way to quit on teams. Which leads me to my next point...

Larry Brown has always found a way to spend a few years in one place and then move on...let's delve into this:

-1972 - 1974: 2 years with the Caroling Cougars in the ABA. The team moved, and he decided to move elsewhere. Not so much on him, but you'll see more of this later.

-1979 - 1981: Was at UCLA. First year, he led the Bruins to the NCAA Championship game. The Nets came along and offered him quadruple of what he is making. He followed the money.

-1981 - 1983: In his second year in New Jersey, Brown interviewed for the Kansas Jayhawks job. He accepted the job with a few games left to go in the year, and instead of letting him coach out the rest of the year, the Nets fired him.

-1991 - 1993: Brown was with the Clippers. Before you say "No wonder he would leave so soon," he led them to the playoffs twice before being frustrated with management. He would go to Indiana, where he said "I'm hopeful this will be my last stop." He had 3 more stops waiting.

-2003 - 2005: The Detroit Pistons. He was there for the Brawl at the Palace with the Pacers. He won a championship. But during the conference finals in his second year, it was reported that he had landed a front office job with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Buyout of his contract was in order. But instead of staying with Cleveland....

-2005 - 2006: He landed his eleventh coaching job with the Knicks. Granted he got fired, but nonetheless, followed the money trail, as this was the richest contract he had ever signed. 5 years for 50+ Million dollars. Yikes.

That's just some of his tenure. Would you want this man coaching your team? He has the urge to work with you one moment, but as soon as he loses interest or sees more money, goodbye! Not the kinda guy I want developing young talent.

Feel free to leave your comments and discuss. No video today...nothing clean enough to use. I guess people really didn't like Larry Brown, after all.
