Thing is, he's done stuff like this to me in the past and then tries to turn it into him being the victim. It's quite annoying. He's a fine poster otherwise. I dont get it.
Well by the end of next year we will have to refer to him as Terry Stotts, most coaching wins in Blazer history...
it might not bother you as much as you think because if Olshey is still GM you'll have 4 more years of CJ dribbling and Turnaround Turner and Meyer flexing his jaws and Olshey talking about organic growth and how much "we like our guys" and how we're waiting for a needle mover of a trade so hey, just be patient
Meh, they'll both bother me a lot. Olshey is more triggering, Stotts is more consistently dumbfounding. Neither is good.
48 more wins this season, 16 in the playoffs, then 82-0 next year, 16 in the playoffs ... I think they'll be exactly tied. barfo
I went into this season knowing (and hating) that Terry would be safe until the team was sold. Maybe it's just my unbridled optimism, but I'm starting to feel like there's a small possibility he could lose his job mid-season. My brain tells me there's no way it happens. But my heart has the pitter patter of hope. #FireStotts
I just don’t think it’s fair to fire stotts and not Olshey. They’re both responsible. If anything Olshey should go first just for doing the absolute minimum, and that’s almost literal, to improve the roster.
I want both gone. But I want Stotts gone more, and as quickly as possible. And I think it's more likely that Neil fires Terry mid-season, than Jody fires Neil mid-season. I want Stotts gone NOW, and Neil gone immediately after our season finale.
One big problem with firing either Stotts or Olshey right now - who would take the job? Nobody we would want long term is going to be interested until the ownership situation is sorted out. You also have to consider that replacing Stotts with an interim coach has only short term consequences. Replacing Olshey could (should!) result in roster changes that could impact the team for years. If they pick the wrong guy to replace Stotts - whoop-dee-do. The season is already a dumpster fire. If you can't replace Olshey with somebody clearly better, if they are just going to sit around afraid to do anything meaningful, you might as well just hand Olshey the suntan lotion and tell him to enjoy Barbados.
If this fan base was in charge of the Blazers front office, nobody would ever get hired and nobody would ever get fired.
I would prefer to see what some of these players can do playing under someone other than Stotts (or just playing AT ALL) before we start making major trades. We need to change the Coach, GM, and Roster. I think we can all (mostly) agree on that. But given the failure of the coach we really don't know just how faulty the roster is. It'd be a damn shame to (yet again) trade a player who could actually perform some of the duties that aren't currently being done. An interim coach is fine with me, as long as they shed some light on what sort of players/skills we have on this roster.
I would have hired D69 as GM or at the least, Head of Scouting. That guy has been a witch over the years and he is just a fan doing a lot of homework.
