I think he is basically the guy who they feel is most likely to not screw things up next year.

The GM is comfortable with him, they run his offensive system.

There is alot of risk in bringing in an assistant with a strong personality or someone who wants to radically change the system. If the players dont like the new coach and its always possible with someone with no experience it might make a veteran team alot worse.

Im probably one of the few who thinks it was a pretty good hire. Its not like Norv ever had a chance to get a job with a team trying to rebuild. He's been offered jobs in places where the owner or GM knows he's a reliable system guy who is going to put in a good offensive system and not mingle too much in personell decisions.
