Of the guys you and I have spent the last 10 minutes talking about, do any of them really excite you?

Not especially. Philosophically, I think it's best to try to look forward in terms of coaching potential. However, I can understand the logic behind Clark's approach because of how disastrous the Pioli hire has been.
That fat **** has taken the franchise to new lows and completely alienated the fan base. While we can debate the "excitement factor" with respect to the Billicks or Cowhers of the world, the fact is that these guys at least restore a baseline of performance and overall respectability, both in the league and with the fans.
It's a conservative play on Clark's part, and I would wager that he believes he's not in a position to gamble based on how bad Pioli was at his job.
