Head Coach thread

She definitely has the respect of Dame, CJ, and Nurkic, that’s a fact. That doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll be a great head coach, but you gotta start somewhere and sometimes that’s the hardest part.

 

I don't want a retread. We have watched how a retread works for the past nine years.

I want something new!

I kind of like how the Minnesota GM did it. He knew exactly whom he wanted before he fired the other coach. Does Olshey have enough personal knowledge of people around the league to be able to do that, or even pick two or three people as finalists?

 

Well, not a fan of Kidd, but maybe he can improve the Defense. The Lakers have been really good defensive team. So that would be at least an upgrade over Stotts

 

Since it takes nearly a decade to remove a mediocre coach, I'd really prefer not to bring in someone who already sucked somewhere else.

 

Those look like the regular season numbers. Not bad considering how small they went. My preference is for a Pop disciple but I wouldn't be mad at Dantoni either. He gets great jobs for a reason.

 

Let's make sure the coach and the GM agree on what kind of players they want in Portland. The DJJ signing seems to be a perfect example of dissonance.

 

or we hire a coach who can implement more than one system and adapt to his new players. The plays we ran this year, we've been running since 2016. dude doesn't change his system, nor can he adapt and make adjustments in the middle of game.

 

The guy has a square peg that he uses no matter whether the hole is round, triangle, square..... rectangle. Didn't matter.

 

From what I recall in another thread, it’s because he beat his wife or something like that (allegedly.)

don’t know if he was convicted or not and don’t wanna google it

 

thanks for proving my point. Guy made the playoffs once in those two stops, then came to Portland and essentially never missed them while becoming one of the longest tenured coaches in the league. Like I said, environment matters.

 

might as well keep terry stotts

 

Maybe the Jason Kidd rumors are being put out to make Stotts look better so they keep him another year

 

Hey, his coaching stinks, but he doesn't beat his wife!
