Figured it is best to start a new official thread around Kubiak being our HC as the other one was built up so much around the search. His introduction presser is at 11 PST today.

Lets get the staff hired

That's the right attitude. Get to work on hiring staff and planning the offseason. Treat Maxx with professionalism and respect (like with all other players) and let the chips fall where they may. Your decision down the road may be driven by the quality of trade offers, instead of by what Maxx wants anyway.

Why was he in the building this morning, working out, had a cup of coffee, but chose to not be a part of the rest of the day? He did it for Josh, Pierce, and Pete. You don't have an answer for that, I don't either. But it's different, so it's noteworthy.

Don't know, kid had a dr appt, kid had an event, kid had a thing at school he committed to going to. He had a follow up appt for his surgery?

Life happens, and sometimes life happens regardless. Noteworthy? Perhaps, or, more likely, much ado about nothing. We tend to read too much into stuff like that. Where was O'Connell, where was Brock? Those two are offensive guys, where were they?

Brock was there. O'Connell? Are you serious?

I have to give credit to some other guys, maybe even O'Connell. There were quite a few players there today. They showed off him greeting a good dozen players. Forgive me though for finding it hilarious you lumped O'connell in with Brock and Maxx.

Why, he is a member of the team. Where were the starting five on the offensive line? Where was any number of guys. Again, it is quite possibly much ado about nothing.

And if I am O'Connell, I am there because even if I am currently the backup, I want to stay being at least the future backup.

Like I said. Maxx's actions are different, that's notable. You gave a bunch of ridiculous excuses that could easily be disproven. He was in the building this morning, but his rehab appointment would be here and then he left? As far as I know, most grade schools this time of year have a daddy daughter dance but not on the 10th of February with three days left to go in the week. This is patently asburd, and more ridiculous than believing Jay Glazer.

You want to believe what you want to believe, that's fine. It's been said before, Maxx won't be or needs to be resolved right now. So we'll see. But he chose to be there for Josh, Pierce, and Pete but not Klint. That is not up for debate.

So, he was in the building, and then he was not. And any number of reasons could be the why. I did not throw out excuses, I threw out plausible explanations, any one of which could be the actual reason. You are just bent on reading into this what you want to be the reason. I merely suggested it is likely not that big a deal.

I thought I read Maxx was there during the Kubiak presser. I thought one of the beat writers shot out a message that he was present.

Did he just take off before the presser?

Don't know, there are conflicting reports

My chat bot says he left before to avoid any distractions given all the fan speculation of a trade

Interesting how he rolled right past the Fernando query. Leave em all guessing.

I don't think there's any doubt. I'm sure that Kubiak wants to actually watch a bunch of film himself as well though. There's no rush.
