Popovich, what's his status?

[PistonFreak]

Where's he at with his contract? Where's he at with management? Is this a win or your out type thing?

Popovich is to the Spurs what Mike Krzyzewski is to Duke.

Some Spurs fans, notably the ones for which IQ < 90, hate him because he fired some no-name coach eight and a half years ago, and because he cut some scrub guard named Vinny Del Negro in 1999, and because some sportswriter in San Antonio back in the '90s hated him and devoted every column to attacking his character until the newspaper fired him.

I think he is wrapped up till the end of the 07 or 09 season.

[spur219]

Coach K has a lifetime contract with Duke. He has a contract with them until he decided to leave.

Popovich has a long term deal; Popovich is the VP of Basketball Operations (super-GM, basically).

More than that, Pop and Tim Duncan are tight. I don't think Pop is going anywhere, regardless of what happens in this series.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I'm not sure about what year he's in on his contract but it's still got a few years left. And despite some of the attempts on this board to round up a lynch mob for him after we lost one game to the Suns, he's sitting pretty with the Spurs faithful right now. He took alot of heat for the Malik/Nazr trade in the press but he's looking like a damn genius right about now.

No one ever talks about the Spurs because they are a model of management tranquility compared to much of the league, including what's going on in Detroit right now. Although I think that's a bunch overhyped BS myself.

[Kori Ellis]

He is under contract for four more years. He's Executive Vice President of basketball operations as well as head coach and rules the Spurs. And this is not a win or your out series for him at all.

Is this a win or your out type thing?

Despite what you might hear on this forum, no.

Pop will retire here.

[BadlyDrawnBoy]

For Brown however, it's win or lose I'm gone. Fuck this shit.

[PistonFreak]

I respect the dude, and think he's great coach. I was just bopping around and read some crap saying it was a win or out thing with him. I figured it was b.s...That's too bad.

I swore to myself I wouldn't say squat about Brown until after the season.

[T Park]

popovich pretty much is THE Spurs.

Hes not leavin till HE wants to leave.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

I doubt we will ever get rid of pop

[Useruser666]

Pop is to the Spurs like gum is in your hair.

[PistonFreak]

You guys do know that he called Detroit after game 4, to tell Chauncey what a great game he played. It really picked him up after a couple of tough game 2 and 3.......Cool thing to do in my book.

You have to cut it out... :angel

[tekdragon]

No, he's like stars in the night sky.

[picnroll]

Pop will be here as long as Duncan is. After that ..... ?

[wildbill2u]

Has a record better than any other current coach in league. Owner loves him; Front office likes him; players like and respect him; coaches around the league think he's one of their best; players around the league want to play for him and some, like Barry, will take a pay cut to come to SA.; knowledgeable baskeball writers and commentators respect him.

A few idiots here want to fire him after every loss. If he left, he'd be courted by lots of teams and could probably pick his spot.

So does that make us... cousins?

Or rub ice and/or peanut butter all over him. :wow

[Useruser666]

Would that make him a popcicle? :lol I know, it's bad. :oops

[SPARKY]

Sorry Piston fan, you can't have him.

[SWC Bonfire]

Sorry Piston fan, you can't have him.

:lol

I think that was his gist.

[ChumpDumper]

Still, imagine the bidding war....Great record and rep, zero baggage....

Would he be offered Phil Jackson money?

[ducks]

pop>>>>>>>>larry the quitter

[dbreiden83080]

If Peter Holt the owner ever fired POP about 20 teams would be beating down his door with big money offers to coach their teams.

[Rick Von Braun]

I can't believe all of the Pop love here -- I'm waiting for AHF to step up and take Pop's back. ;-)

With all of the Pop bashing that tends to go on in here (and I exclude AHF to an extent -- constructive criticism is not bashing) I'm surprised that more haven't been willing to throw Pop under the bus. Then again, if the Spurs lose a game in this series, this thread will be full of "You can have him" takes by "Spurs fans" who believe Pop is a moron.

[SpursWoman]

Damn....how'd I miss that?


:rollin :lol

[samikeyp]

They could be losing Danny Ferry which would NOT make SpursWoman happy! :)

[ObiwanGinobili]

Pop's the man!
I have nothign but love for him. True I may disagree now and then - bUt I'm never ready to "throw him under a bus" or the like.

[mcornelio]

Hes Like 1000 Burning Arrows In The Heart :angel
