Rumors are flying around Memphis that the Tigers have narrowed the list for new coaching candidates to the following three fellows:

Reggie Theus, Avery Johnson and Scott Drew.

This news comes on the heels of Xavier Henry's father confirming Memphis' interest in Theus and Johnson; you can find that info on Zagsblog.

There are conflicting reports on whether Memphis has asked permission to speak with Scott Drew.

Johnson or Theus would be preferable, so maybe the Tigers won't get to Drew.

I don't believe Drew has the rapport, or the resume, to accomplish what Tiger fans have grown to expect.
