Tom Barrise, who served as interim coach for two games and has been an assistant under Lawrence Frank and Kiki Vandeweghe, will now be assisting Rod Thorn. Barrise will be Thorn’s “special assistant” for the remainder of the season and will help the president prepare for the draft and free agency. “He’ll do a lot of helping me scout because it’s obviously of utmost importance,” Thorn said.

Not sure about this move only because i'm not familiar enough with Barise but if Thorn likes him, I like him.

I disagree about all of this being Kiki's fault buddy. I think Mikhail Prokhorov wanted this team gutted and he's getting exactly what he wanted when he bought us. A very low payroll, lots of young talent, a team that will be moving into an area with a lot of publicity and one that will have a very high draft pick. When Prokhorov comes in, it's a fresh start and I think he'll spend us into being a good team again.

I can't blame Kiki or Thorn for this disgrace of a team.
