Brown just took a deal at $4 million/season; almost cheap by today's standards.

It was a money thing, had to be. That or Little Buss just couldn't bring himself to go back to his daddy's pet coach (and there's a good chance of that as well).

In either event, not a wise decision at all.

Could/would the new guys learn the triangle well enough in a single season to run it to a ring?
