Regarding Thibs being on the hot seat, what I will say to that is that I think that at this juncture, going in to his 3rd season, both Thibs and the front office are either going to hang together, or hang seperately. For better or for worse, their fates are linked. I don't think things will spin out of control, but let's say that they do, the history with the franchise has been a complete housecleaning. Dolan is the same as Jerry Jones, he thinks he can run the franchise better than anyone else, and he has shown extrodinary temperance over the last few years where he has let Rose and his guys run the franchise without interference. So if things go wrong, I don't see him just firing Thibs and letting the present regime pick the new coach. Under that circumstance, I think it would just be a complete housecleaning, and Dolan would probably give a blank check to whatever big name there is, and make him President of the organization. Granted, that doesn't mean that I necessarily think that would be the right thing to do under that scenario, but that's what I think would happen.
renaming media day, "content day," because of how much he hates the media is beyond petty, even for dolan.
