I would be SHOCKED if Collins is the hire.  (And ftr, I wouldn't hire Walton for similar reasons, though he at least has an incredibly successful 40+ game stretch as head man with this historically good Ws team).

I assume Walton is a lock to be some poor NBA team's next head coach.  Much like Bruce Arians leveraged a successful fill-in role with the Colts while Chuck Pagano was battling cancer into a full time job with Arizona, I have to believe that Walton is the hot assistant coach for an NBA team looking to capture that magic.  There are no guarantees, but inasmuch as auditions go, he nailed it.
