You can't just fire somebody's friend and expect them to take the job. That's a huge betrayal. Moving on is one thing. Taking that person's job? A whole other level.
Funny, and true story about that. I was eating at the Precinct shortly after Zimmer had accepted the head coaching job in Minnesota. My wife and I were sitting in a small room, and literally at the table next to us was Hue Jackson, Mike Zimmer, and a few others who I did not recognize. Of course, I hardly talked to my wife at all the whole dinner so I could eavesdrop on their conversation. Someone made a joke about Hue taking over for Marvin as head coach. Hue said something along the lines of, "Ahh nahh I don't think I could take over his position." I don't remember all of what was said, but I did get the sense that he wouldn't feel comfortable taking Marvin's job.
