Isn't that usually the case though? Remember Derek Fisher who was fired by Phil Jackson who made the Knicks worse(as if that was possible) then they were? I mean seriously how often has a person with zero expense become a successful head coach on his first team and without so much as one season under a better coach? Jason Kidd is the only one and what has he done besides get paid?
Steve Kerr and Erik Spoelstra say hi.
Also Fizdale has a ton of experience as an assistant coach. If you want to go that route and name guys who have had success in their first stops after being assistant coaches, look no further than Poppovich, who's first NBA head coaching job was with the Spurs.
