If you are gonna rebuild but still have a team that fans donīt hate, he seems to be an ideal candidate. Will likely be a guy working well with young players, is used to working with a team thatīs outclassed on the talent scale.
Personally also think that while rebuilding, this isnīt the sort of hire you make when you want to outright tank. Guess youīd take a former assistant or an older coach that wants one more paycheck without much work.

Someone asked me about it and my first reaction was he is playing from the Petino book. Made final four at Providence. Landed the Knicks job. Wasn't successful but Kentucky sure did line up to take him from the Knicks.
If he gets fired from the Celtics within 3 years he will have big name colleges lined up to sign him.
His success will depend on if Green and Rondo believe his style now that Doc is gone. I don't think KG or Pierce would have listen to him.
