Why would he be fired? The Rose Garden has a nice long sellout streak going and season ticket sales are surprising good considering the craptacular season we just had.
The guy has no charisma at all. He's the very definition of "a suit". I was watching him on CSMN and he's just boring to listen to.
How much is he involved with roster moves? If we somehow end up trading our lotto picks for late 20's/nearly 30 year-old "veteran" I'll be driving the fire Larry Miller bandwagon.
Interesting you say this as your critique of him. He is actually quite the opposite. Very interesting guy to talk to.
Considering he has been the front-man for the franchise over the last few years, I think it would definitely help.
I think it's that he doesn't come off as very impressive on camera ... but whatever, I couldn't give two shits about that, he should only be judged as an executive and those metrics mostly involve profitability and revenue.
Because he and Paul Allen are no longer on the same page. Remember our GM got fired at the peak of our incline, so results aren't the determining factor around Rip City for people to keep their job. I'm saying he's gone before the season starts!
But with all of the smoke and mirrors and secrecy that surround this franchise, we don't really know that he has been.
Hasn't he pretty much been running all the press conferences for the past two or three years? We don't really have a 'face of the franchise' right now, but he's the one who went on CSMN to talk about the new hire, he's usually the guy at the press conferences, I just think the dude could be a little more engaging. I've just never really liked his vibe.
so basically, you think he should be fired because you don't like him. Not based on if he's helped change the business aspect of the Blazers (ticket sales, ad sales, etc), but that you think he's not engaging enough. Look, I don't like the guy, but I don't think he should be canned unless he stops performing his job adequately.
