The New York Knicks have been seeking an experienced head coach to fill the spot that opened when they fired Tom Thibodeau. That’s led New York to contacting multiple teams, and being turned, to speak with current head coaches about the opening.
Now, the Knicks are turning to two former head coaches who are currently unemployed. New York is focused on Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins as possibilities to be their next head coach.
Brown has been a head coach four times for three different teams. He had two stints leading the Cleveland Cavaliers sandwiched around being the Los Angeles Lakers head coach. Brown was also the head coach of the Sacramento Kings for two-plus seasons, before being let go after 31 games this past season.
Jenkins was the Memphis Grizzlies head coach for nearly six seasons. Jenkins was let go with nine games remaining last season.
Both Brown and Jenkins are free and clear of any obligations that would keep them from taking the Knicks job.
