    He should never get another head coaching job. The guy is fucking horrible. Extremely nice guy, but just a horrible coach.

    I can hear it now from Sheed, "Ball don't lie!"

    I saw this coming in June 2013 when he was hired.

    Sheed would make an awesome head coach, only because he'd get tossed out of every game.

    It is what every Blazer fan is hoping to see. :D Mo getting that job was a joke so why not Wallace?

    Sheed is a national treasure, the NBA's Mohammed Ali. I can't wait to see how he'll shape the NBA as a coach.

    Took them a lot less time to realize he is a horrible coach than it took Portland to realize he is a horrible coach.

    Agreed. I'm stunned Mo "Booty Butt" Cheeks lasted as long as he did in Detroit. That team is massively underachieving with the personnel they have. Most of that falls on the coach IMO.

    Maybe Mo can just make the rounds singing the National Anthem.

    Lionel Hollins is rumored to be the frontrunner for the job.

    The Pistons have some talent - but a poorly constructed roster. Did they really think Cheeks was innovative enough to get those mis-matched parts to fit together?

    I like Cheeks. We had some great seasons with him at the helm. We also got to Game 7 in first round under Cheeks. Haven't done that well since.

    What's sad is that he lost his ever-present smile a couple of years after he left here. He heard the criticisms that he wasn't tough. Now all his pictures show him looking resentful. He doesn't want to be photographed smiling.

    Fire Cheeks and bring in Hollins, eh? That's a win-win deal for them!
