Popovich longest tenured coach in American sports

The retirement of Tony LaRussa as the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals gives the Spurs coach a unique distinction among those directing professional sports teams. Popovich has more tenure with his team than any current coach in any of the four major North American sports.

Would be a lot more exciting news if he could actually be on the floor coaching his team right now.

good for pop

He's haunted & burdened by his own successes & machinations. Physically his team can't overcome it, & mentally he's a basket case. It's uncomfortable to watch.

Great





More fucking Bonner




Oh yeah he should thank Duncan and Bowen for his long tenure



Now that Bruce is retired and that Timmy is an old tired shit bag, we can see how much Pop is overrated

Yes, that is obviously evidenced by his 4 championships and 13 straight playoff trips. :rolleyes

Don't worry, I got ya covered Culby...

Bonner for 3!! :rollin

Does anybody know of other professional coaches worldwide who currently have a longer tenure with their team? Only Sir Alex Ferguson from Manchester United comes to my mind - he is there since 1986.

Hardcore misread.

Pop is concerned about his wine crop, his family and he knows how fortunate he is to make millions coaching basketball.

He's got 4 rings under his belt.

He's got no such ghosts as you imply.

Wow.....just wow.

I wonder, have you ever said one thing even remotely positive about the Spurs organization. Popovich will be a 1st ballot HOF...no doubt about it.
On the very short list of G.O.A.T. (coaches)

I hate the freakin Lakers....but at least I have the intelligence to know that they've been a pretty good and/or great organization the past 10+ years. Bet I won't get that out of your mouth. Your the Laker fan who thinks every single game the Spurs won was because of the officials, cheating, or something along those lines.....:bang.

But enough of your sorry ass...congrats Pop....you deserve it. :toast
