Mark Jackson is the Answer

[Angelo1405]

this guy has played before, frank hasnt. he motivates his players telling the harsh truth to them, frank doesnt, hes said all the right things in halftime, frank sips some coffee, mark is funny, frank isnt. see the difference ?

even the ppl in the post wonder how frank keeps his job. sign mark now !
and hes been a great pointguard before, imagine what he'll teach to our players.....

I never knew telling jokes was one of the top measurements of a quality coach.

 

[Angelo1405]

guess what my friends, yes it is... yes it is......

 

[kobimel]

No, it isn't. Anyway, I don't know if someone who has never coached before is the answer for this team. We need a guy who's proven as a coach who can help youngsters develop and a guy who has been through a rebuilding process before. I wouldn't mind Mark as an assistant coach, though, helping out now and then and giving Marcus and Devin some tips.

 

[King John da FiF]

They won't hire Marc because he might get the job done.

 

[Netted]

I rather see mark get some experience as an assistant coach before he's a head coach. I don't think you can go from TV analyst to head coach. There is some practical experience on how to run a team as a coach that he needs.

Has anyone ever become a head coach with zero coaching experience?

 

[J-HoAgZ]

Lmao I can see it now.. Him calling timeout to take Marcus out of the game but instead of explaining what he did wrong just telling him "Your better than that Marcus. your better than that!" And then whenever someone questioned his ethics he would give them a quick "I'm firm but I'm fair."

 

[Angelo1405]

lol thats just like that "jackass" show when chris pontious kept repeating "russian police, stern...stern but fair" lol

Johnson only lasted 11 games.
At least Bird worked in the Celtics front office for 5 years prior to being named a head coach.
Thomas also ran the Raptors front office prior to coaching the Pacers.

That said, both Bird and Thomas had some success coaching the Pacers. Maybe that's where Mark should be head coach?

Elston Turner

He's been an assistant under Rick Adleman for several years and could help us to adapt a similar offensive style like that of the Houston Rockets.</div>

And then teach them how to handle with being traded for a one hit wonder.

You mean the CBA that he ran into the ground?

 

[pegs]

How about Rick Carlisle?

I always thought he was a good, underrated coach. Maybe he could be good for the Nets...IF Frank doesn't work out...and gets fired for some reason.

 

[Angelo1405]

WHAT DID I TELL YOU PPL !!!! FRANK OUT !!! I SAID THAT WITH THE FIRST COMMENT I MADE IN THIS WEBSITE. MARK OR RICK NOW !!!!!!!! AND VC + RJ OUT IN DRAFT NOW !!!!!

 

[kobimel]

Huh? What the hell are you trying to say? Why not try posting without the caps lock and in....sentences?

 

[Angelo1405]

What did I tell you people !!!! Frank needs to leave NJ !!! I said this with the first comment in this website. Hire Mark or Rick Now !!!!!!!! And trade Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson in the draft!!!!!
k ?

 

[kobimel]

Much better dude. Wasn't that hard, was it?

Now I can reply. As I've said before, unless we have a solid candidate to replace Frank, someone who knows how to develop youngsters and coach a young team better than him, firing him is unnecessary. Trading VC and RJ in the draft would be a good move only if we can secure a high pick, expiring contracts and some very talented youngsters in exchange. Thorn and Kiki aced the Kidd trade, and they showed that you can always get more than 40 cents on the dollar for stars, unlike what Toronto and Memphis did when they traded VC and Gasol.

 

[Joey FistPump]

Rick Carlise is a great coach, but would be a bad decision, like JVG he's a meticulous coach who stresses defense and runs a slow pace offense, with our athleticism we need a guy who pushes tempo offensively...

We'd be better served by bringing in a guy who is offensive first whether it be Elston Turner from the Rockets or maybe an assistant from the Suns...Personally I would like to see us beg Calapari to come back to the Nets...even though it's unlikely he'd be the perfect coach for Devin Harris, as the Memphis Attack offense plays to Harris's strengths as a PG.
