Coaching Candidates

[calvin natt]

Being realistic, who is on your short list? Trying to think a little out of the box here...

Ime Udoka
Nate Tibbetts
Jay Larranaga - Boston
Dave Joerger
Jarron Collins - GS
Jay Wright - Villanova
Lavall Jordan - Butler

 

[Sheldon Shape]

No college coaches. We don't need a transitional coach. We've already had one for 7, now 8 seasons. We need someone ready and experienced in the NBA world.

Find me a coach who will run the offense through our big man. Watch our percentages go way up.

 

[illmatic99]

Want nothing to do with Joerger. Egomaniac

 

[CupWizier]

NO BRAINER

Caleb Canales

actually surprised nobody said Dave Vanderpool.

Thinking outside the box but no Becky Hammons?

Stotts is not getting fired anytime soon.

these are my personal picks just thinking off top head. Wasn’t making a list of every single coaching option and was actually hoping others would list names. So far nope.

I think there is this exact thread a couple months ago, may be why.

Sweet the old “whaaaa too many threads” complaint. Ok I’ll go back back and dig that one up.

 

[TBpup]

David Adelman

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

Anyone other than Stotts... and trade CJ!

 

[Strenuus]

Stotts is the worst coach we have ever had. Anyone with any coaching pedigree would be better.

There is no argument. Good day.

 

[Chris Craig]

The corpse of Jack Ramsay

rotflmao! Not even close.

I didn't say that at all. You were wondering why you weren't getting much of a response so I was just letting you know why.

 

[Tince]

Hard to tell if those guys will be available in 3-4 years when we have a coaching vacancy.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Meyers Leonard

 

[kjironman1]

Phil Jackson isn't working.
You have to mention Becky Hammond if you are a Portlander and you think it's time a Female stepped up?
Talk around the league has David Blatt available.
Adrian Griffin currently would be a good choice in my book.
Of course everyone would want Ettore Messina but he ain't coming here.
Pablo Prigioni is a you and up and comer. Maybe needs more experience.
Wondering if Dave Jorger would be looked at?
How about Kenny Smith? I'd like to see it.

There. That's the best i can come up with?

Stotts is getting dangerously close to .500 for his coaching career here in Portland.

The definition of mediocre/purgatory.

It’s unheard of for a coach to get 8 years with zero accomplishments... not even a conference title... this is unreal... 8 years of mediocrity!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Whoever DeMar DeRozan wants after we trade CJ for him.

 

[CupWizier]

Huh? Stotts is 341-273 in Portland for a .555 winning percentage. How do you figure that is close to .500? That's like saying Medford is close to Portland.

Isn't Tibbets our defense coach this year. My new coach would be Jay Wright.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Me! I should be coach.

I'd even let a few of you call plays.

Tanking is a losers mentality.

 

[Neil O. Shyster]

Embracing mediocrity is a losers mentality

 

[CupWizier]

Embracing mediocrity is a losers mentality

who is embracing mediocrity?

 

[handiman]

Scott Rueck. Dude does more with less than anyone ... and that's not a height joke. Being a non-FA destination, Portland has to rely on developing homegrown talent.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Talk around the league has David Blatt available.

He's retired because he's got MS.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

The answer is:
Somebody we've never heard of. Of course that kind of undermines the point of the thread.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering how being 68 games above .500 is "dangerously close" to being .500.

I assume he meant for his whole coaching career, which would be a more accurate statement.
