What it will take to get Stotts fired?

[Natebishop3]

Be honest. When Stotts was hired, how many people here thought he would be in the job for more than 2-3 seasons? Did even ONE Blazer fan say "this is our long term solution who will lead us to a title"??

I will admit he exceeded my expectations, but that alone doesn't entitle him to lifetime tenure!

He was brought in to appease LMA and for some reason has been able to stick around.

The chemistry and culture of the team are fantastic. There is no reason to get rid of Stotts unless we are making a guaranteed improvement. He is a good coach.

Brad Stevens would be a guaranteed improvement. If we can get Stevens we should absolutely do it.

I'm pretty sure any time Terry has gone against Stevens we have gotten schooled. I would love to have him.

Brad Stevens has lost to Stotts 7 times.

I like Brad Stevens a lot.

Stevens doesn't show up come playoff time. Go look at his record. 500
He's finish 1 & 2 in conference several times and still gets knocked out.

What is your measurable criteria of a coach that would lead us to a championship?

Good question and an important one for sure...
Make the playoffs
Advance in the Playoffs
Creative effective measurable Offense & Defense.
Develop a bench

A guy like Stevens is similar to Stotts, in that they are even keel, laid back, players coaches. Really nice guys...Which is fine if they can get there team up to take the next step.
Plus he did zero in braking the zone last night.
A championship caliber coach imo, shouldn't be afraid to bench even a star player.
Id like more pushing the ball and less walking it up allowing D to set. I want Dame to learn to play off the ball some to0.

To be Championship coach in this league you better be blessed with a Stars and depth, plus some luck.
Toronto's coach last year and excelled more so than many that have won championships. Yeah, maybe with GS not being so hurt last years finals may have been different. You could put Stotts or Stevens on those GS teams and they would have rings. More with less.

Malone has chance to do the same.

Based off Twitter: Brad Stevens can't coach and will be available this off-season. I'd gladly take him!

Same here!

Coaches who’ve won at least two titles with modest talent.
