    Agreed. Let Monty guide the team for the remainder of the season,then look for long term replacements to begin next year.
    Or a crazy alternative, have Miller as a player/coach (like in soccer) where he can make decisions from on the floor.
    No way either could be worse than McVillain.

    I'd probably go for one these guys if things progress apace. I'll bet our bigs would set better picks ...

    He did it last year de facto when Mo Cheeks was shown the door, and that team went on a mad run.

    we totally flubbed last time around when we got Cheeks instead of Carlisle. Or two times ago......what a shit....he was available, had a good realtionship with Sheed and they sat on their ass.

    With the rash of injuries and suspect handling of injuries in mind;
    Can we get a new strength/conditioning/nutrition crew while we're at it?

    Well if Monty does well enough, remove the interim label and make him full time head coach.

    Paul Westhead. The anti-Nate. He wouldn't be interested in Blanky for a date. And he's already in-state. Grab him before it's too late. It's a choice that Roy would hate.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't know...Rick Adelman took over a talented core with contention hopes in Portland, and didn't have any NBA head coaching experience. Phil Jackson took over the Bulls as they were heading into what was expected to be their prime period and had no NBA head coaching experience. I believe Pat Riley had no NBA head coaching experience when he took over the Lakers from Paul Westhead.

    Of course, they had NBA assistant coaching experience. I'm not sure that's essential, though. Wasn't Popovich without any NBA coaching experience, out of the CIA or something?

    Pop took over for Brian Hill I thought. I don't remember him having any coaching experience.

    Could fans get a way with a sign reading "Dump Nate, Keep Full Monty" ?

    I'd be shocked if he gets fired this year, mainly because he doesn't deserve to be fired. I still haven't heard a valid reason for firing Nate at this point in the season with a .600 winning percentage and a 3 game losing streak. If that were the standard for firing a coach, we'd have 1 coach keep his job the entire season.

    Despite talent to burn; the passionless, amateurish product we see on the floor, well. . .,
    I think that speaks enough in itself to warrant Nate being shown the door.

    Firing Nate won't get Travis, Nicolas and LaMarcus fully healthy tomorrow.

    Just a hunch, though it would give us a better chance of seeing Blakey go to the bench.

    I say screw it.

    Start Bayless. Play Oden until he fouls out. Move LMA to the small forward spot. Bring Howard into the starting five. Tell Roy to take 25 shots per game. At worst we'll get a decent shot at John Wall :)
