How long of a leash should Chauncey have?

What should we do with Chauncey?

  1. Fire him - even young players deserve a good coach

  2. He should be on a short leash - if we look like we're not progressing, he should go in season

    I mean, I know Canzano is an ass, but that's some weak shit. What the fuck do the Seahawks and Alabama have in common with the Blazers? Or even each other. Maybe Wayne Rooney getting fired as the manager of Birmingham was the third! Why not?

    Completely disagree, we have had many injures all season long. We aren't the worse team in the league we aren't good, period.

    Everyone wanted a rebuild, which comes with many losing season no matter if your coach is Billups or Pop from the Spurs or Monty from Detroit.

    Fans think they know more than anyone else lol, and have expectations way too high, we aren't good talent wise with a young squad and many green players.

    That's the truth.

    the Remix head coach should take lead whistle in Portland. The G-league kids enter NBA games running and sprinting and doing basketball things. Unlike the players on Chauncey's squad.

    I knew it was going to be bad but geez the players might like Billups but they sure as hell are not playing there asses off for him at the moment. The only thing missing from this team this year is to have a losing streak like the Pistons had but if they keep this up maybe that is next. I did not expect the Blazers to even sniff the playoffs this year but I thought they would play there asses off and then get run over in the 3rd to 4th quarter and lose. I do not think Billups gets canned during the season but if Jody and Cronin keep him after the season then they both need to be run out of town and every fan should want this too.

    Neil Olshey = John Nash

    Chauncey Billups = Mo Cheeks

    Take me out to pasture and shoot me.

    Warning, my comment below is sick and twisted.

    No more short leash for Chauncey. From now on, he wears a shock collar. Who wants a remote?

    now Billups would help a stagefright little girl sing the national anthem, but only after Scott Brooks walked over and told him what the problem is.

    No. You can't be worse than Mo Cheeks. That guy would spend half the game chatting with fans behind the bench. He made us suffer through an extra season of his 'coaching' by helping sing the national anthem when the young lady froze and forgot the lyrics, and I will FOREVER be bitter about that.

    This makes me question whatever test you have to take in order to become a mod.

    I still don't know how good or bad Chauncey is. His first season as head coach the Joe admitted and we all saw that the roster was unbalanced and flawed... instead of fixing that at the deadline Joe just cut bait and then he said again in the off season that he hadn't fixed the problems going into the regular season... he said they would evaluate and make changes at the deadline a deadline in which they continued to make moves that looked like we were headed towards a rebuild and we tanked after. Now we have this roster and I don't know anyone who thought it would be competitive and it's not... Chauncey had them playing inspired ball at the beginning of the season but teams can only take so many losses without guys who are win now players (Jerami, Ant, Malcolm) starting to phone it in and we see the result of that.

    None of this shit would be fixed by a better coach, we need a better roster. I suspect that Chauncey will struggle with a better roster but I think this roster will get worse before it gets better so we still won't know. I don't think we'll have a winning season by the time Chauncey's contract expires and I suspect we'll move on at that point and get a new head coach until then I think these calls for Chauncey's job are silly. Chauncey has done a good job at developing players and why would you pay Chauncey not to coach and a new head coach not to win?
