Time will tell what happens with the coaching job left vacant when Brett Brown was fired on Aug. 24. However, league sources said
questions about the Sixers' first-office structure have concerned some qualified would-be candidates. They were also concerned that Embiidโs close relationship with ownership would have an impact on a coachโs authority. Another concern was Embiid and Ben Simmons being empowered to think they have a hand in the coaching hire. The sources also wonder whoโs actually in charge, even though the Sixers keep saying itโs Brand.
