If we had a different coach WHO would you want?

Postby ucatchtrout on Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:26 pm

Every year I see FIRE NATE threads throughout the season. And with the weak start so far this year the topic has already come up again. Instead of your laundry list of reasons to make a coaching change, lets assume that a change is emminent. Who is realistically available that would you want to be your head coach, IF for some reason Nate were to leave the Blazers?


Monty?
Luke?
Jeff Van Gundy?
Terry Porter?

I'm thinking TP. :D

Coaches I would want are already coaching at the moment. But out of those names you listed, Jeff Van Gundy. At least he would get the Blazers to play better D.

Monty Williams... really? That's a stretch. Let's fire Nate (which I'm all for) then hire his lead assistant to replace him? No thanks....


I don't know why we ever let Adelman go... he would be my choice if he was available.

JVG I guess from your list.

There aren't any coaches available at the moment. That is the problem. This blazer team is tailor-made for Rick! Imagine the transition game he would install with this team as well as the movement on offense in the half court! He would be the perfect coach in so many ways. It will never happen though as long as Paul Allen is the owner. He is too prideful to bring back Rick after the way he booted him to the curb in the 90's.

Avery Johnson
Jeff Van Gundy (I have my doubts he will coach again)

I'd like JVG actually. He can teach defense instead of preach it.
It's time, Brandon.

For those of you who favor Van Gundy.....

Yes. He would install a solid defensive scheme. But what about offense? What kind of scheme do you think he would run.? It wouldn't be a fastbreak. Not his style.

How about Tom Thibodeau? He should be able to improve the defense if anyone can.

Thibodeau is a good option...JVG is another.

Just throwing this out there...Phil Jackson's contract expires after this year.
Get better Greg, Joel, Brandon, Nic, Travis, and Jerryd!
