Sheridan: A coach is getting fired in next couple days and nobody sees it coming

Probably Spo

[lefty]

Tom Rivers

[kamikazi_player]

I'm thinking if it is true, Tom Thibs

[Silver&Black]

I'm thinking if it is true, Tom Thibs

I don't think that qualifies as "nobody sees it coming".

[DMC]

Either Kevin or Doc. Everybody sees it coming. If it's anyone else, no one gives a shit unless it's Pop. That would be hilarious. I'm thinking Doc with how that team had the serious under control and Doc overplayed his son.

[DMC]

I'm thinking if it is true, Tom Thibs
Yeah everyone sees that one coming from miles away.

[kamikazi_player]

I don't think that qualifies as "nobody sees it coming".
:lol maybe to the casual fan

[skut_farkus]

It's gotta be doc

[DMC]

Probably Spo
Doesn't make sense. Spo didn't run Lebron off, didn't give Chris Bosh a tumor, and found Hassan Whiteside. Spo just hit 4 Finals in a row. If he gets fired that's the team's way of scorched earth rebuilding but they still have Wade so it doesn't make sense.

[DMC]

Casual fan doesn't read Chris Sheridan's tweets.

You have Brett Brown, Fisher, and whoever is coaching LA right now. You also have George Karl... who just got hired. Not sure who coaches the Celts, Brad Stevens? He seems like a good coach. Shaw? Is he coaching Denver?

[313]

I'm thinking Doc, but maybe McHale. I can't think of any other big name coach that would get fired. RC?

[RsxPiimp]

That is true...

People are throwing Carlisle's name out there

[Kool Bob Love]

Steve Kerr

[kamikazi_player]

I'm thinking Doc, but maybe McHale. I can't think of any other big name coach that would get fired. RC?
Mchale is a NBA big shot? Would there be a possibility that it would be Rick Carlisle? that would surprise me tbh

[Silver&Black]

Carlisle would be out of work for 2 days tops...

[Silver&Black]

Steve Kerr

:lol Bringing Mark Jackson back

[baseline bum]

Carlisle could make some sense with how things went down with Rondo. Of course Fisher too since Phil Jackson would probably love a 90s coach like Thibedeau. Byron Scott makes sense since he is shit and Mitch is already burning bridges with Snitch.

[313]

Mchale is a NBA big shot? Would there be a possibility that it would be Rick Carlisle? that would surprise me tbh

Well, not a big Shot but definitely one of the more known coaches among casual fans.

[313]

I have friends who think McHale is a good coach :lol

[GuerillaBlack]

Kevin McHale. Rumor that the owner is not happy with him and Dwight believes he isn't being used to his best abilities, which is bs because Dwight is 30 now, not 23.

[DMC]

I'm thinking Doc, but maybe McHale. I can't think of any other big name coach that would get fired. RC?
His feet wouldn't hit the ground because a limo would slide under him to take him to another team.

[Caltex2]

It'll probably be McHale. How this team got so far, I'll never know. Contradicting that rhetorical statement, they got this far on talent alone as well as a Clipper choke. They should have been done 2 weeks ago.

[DMC]

:lol Bringing Mark Jackson back
I heard (as did you all I am sure) Mark say "If I was Steve here I would...." and I thought "be watching from home because you lost in the opening round".

[Chris]

Byron Scott

[GuerillaBlack]

Rockets have gotten this far on talent alone. Hearing Kerr and McHale's wired moments during the game are night and day.

What if Pop got fired for playing Tony while he was playing like shit and that intentional fouling that cost us a game and likely the series? No one is expecting that.

[MeloHype]

Hopefully Wittman

0 chance it's B.Scott. He said all the right things Laker fans wanted to hear. He has Magic's eternal support and he's a pretty good tank commander.

[djohn2oo8]

McHale is not getting fired.

[Silver&Black]

I have friends who think McHale is a good coach :lol

:lol You need to find some new friends

[Clipper Nation]

I'm hoping and praying it's that faggot Cock Quitters. His ego and incompetence will kill this franchise if left unchecked.

[baseline bum]

The Lakers can't tank anymore when Philly has their pick.

[RsxPiimp]

He's also the Clippers President of basketball ops, isn't he? Can't be him.

[RsxPiimp]

It's Top 3, but I see what you're saying.

[DPG21920]

I don't think it will be McHale (I said so jokingly earlier). I think Rockets have proven they believe in him with his contract and they just reached the WCF.

[DPG21920]

I can maybe think of Karl. They may want to make a push for the playoffs and their owner has proven to be most impatient.

[Caltex2]

Rockets have gotten this far on talent alone. Hearing Kerr and McHale's wired moments during the game are night and day.

Like I said, they still needed a very bad Clipper moment to even get to the conference finals. The Clippers were easily a better team than the Rockets.

[dg7md]

Doc Rivers probably. We haven't heard much from the Clipper organization since that unheralded collapse.

[Caltex2]

McHale is not getting fired.

Why not?

He should be fired as GM for certain. Maybe with a real one, he could have gotten to the conference finals and given Golden State a more legit challenge.

[djohn2oo8]

Les Alexander doesn't fire coaches.

[DMC]

That meeting of the suits after the Clippers loss makes me think Flopping Doc is on the Chopping Block. Putting his son out there, emphasizing how he needs more minutes, that disgusted look on Ballmer's face, knowing that Ballmer wants ROI. Doc is probably gone. If Jordan walks, Doc won't be there to care.

[Caltex2]

Les Alexander doesn't fire coaches.

You mean like Jeff Van Gundy? Or Rudy T? Oh, that's right, he just left on his own accord.

[djohn2oo8]

Did he give those coaches an extension before firing them?

[Jacob1983]

Everyone that isnt a Clippers fan is hoping its Doc Rivers. He deserves it. Acts like he's an all time great coach but crumbles under pressure.

[Venti Quattro]

McHale just got an extension so maybe not him. PLUS he coached an already left for dead Rockets to the WCF.

[Caltex2]

McHale wouldn't be the first coach in history to be given an extension before getting fired. Even the University of Houston and it's relatively tiny budget, fired Tony Levine after giving him an extension before the start of the next season.

[djohn2oo8]

McHale just got an extension so maybe not him. PLUS he coached an already left for dead Rockets to the WCF.

Nah he doesn't even call the plays.

[Caltex2]

Anyone really watching that team knows they made it there on talent alone. The Rockets made it there on having a dominant big man (by modern standards), an MVP-caliber guard and shooting a bunch of 3's. The effort and basketball IQ simply were not there way too often. That they were even competitive with the Warriors 4/5 games was a major shock.

Go grab Rick Adelman and see if he wants to give it another go. He's the most hard luck great coach in NBA history.

[Silver&Black]

Nah he doesn't even call the plays.

I understand your being pissed off at McFail right now...hell who wouldn't. But, at the beginning of the year...how far did you think this team would go? Did you think you'd be in the WCF?

You have to have a guy the players will listen to. That's not a washed up proven failure. You have to get someone like Thibbs.

[Venti Quattro]

Could it be Carlisle because of Rajon Rondo?

[Malik Hairston]

I could see Scott if they're actually going to try to make the playoffs and hire Thibs, but that's kind of foolish with Kobe on the team, tbh:lol..

[Clipper Nation]

Everyone that isnt a Clippers fan is hoping its Doc Rivers. He deserves it. Acts like he's an all time great coach but crumbles under pressure.

:lol Most Clipper fans want this overpaid, egotistical fraud gone more than anyone else. At least other teams' fans don't have to deal with his horrible GM-ing and mediocre coaching first-hand.

[Mal]

I wonder who might it be, minutes after Rockets were eliminated...

[ElNono]

With the Knicks botching the lottery, and Thibs being one of those coaches that still like to play big, I can see Phil giving Fish the pink slip and going all-in to get Thibs.

It'll be the end of the triangle for the time being, but Phil desperately needs a high profile move soon, since you know Dolan isn't know for being patient.

[Caltex2]

I understand your being pissed off at McFail right now...hell who wouldn't. But, at the beginning of the year...how far did you think this team would go? Did you think you'd be in the WCF?

That means nothing, this was not the best Rockets team of the last 10 years despite advancing the farthest of all of them. Sometimes it's luck of the draw and the breaks going your way. The Rox had lots of that this year.


I wonder who might it be, minutes after Rockets were eliminated...

Yeah, really. Seems pretty obvious. Nothing would leak before hand because they wouldn't want it to be a distraction.

[RsxPiimp]

It's looking like Thibs is gonna be that dude...

The Chicago Bulls are expected to resolve the future of Tom Thibodeau by Friday with his dismissal likely unless Jerry Reinsdorf unexpectedly intervenes at the last minute.

Thibodeau is owed $9 million over the final two years of his contract.

Fred Hoiberg is widely considered the favorite to replace Thibodeau.

According to sources, some players didn't endorse Thibodeau's return in exit meetings with management.

Some players have been making separate offseason plans for several summers to get a break from Thibodeau, who rarely leaves the practice facility.

[sook]

McHale is not getting fired.
Les is too cheap, Mchale has another year on contract.

[Jodelo]

Could it be Carlisle because of Rajon Rondo?

No. Nelson/Cuban said that he can stay as long as he want (does not mean anything though).

When Dirk retires, he will leave maybe.

[djohn2oo8]

Les is too cheap, Mchale has another year on contract.

I thought he had 3 more years with that extension?

[sook]

I thought he had 3 more years with that extension?

Is the last year guaranteed? If it is..then fuck.

[djohn2oo8]

Is the last year guaranteed? If it is..then fuck.

Yep. Back in December.

The Houston Rockets have signed coach Kevin McHale to a three-year, fully guaranteed contract extension valued in excess of $12 million, according to ESPN sources and multiple reports.

He ain't your problem, get that thru your thick head, dj.

[Caltex2]

If the supposed coach no one saw getting fired was Tom Thibodeaux, then it's a major disappointment because most of us saw that coming with the numerous rumors circulating ever since the Bulls were eliminated and the rumors of his next landing spot.

[djohn2oo8]

He ain't your problem, get that thru your thick head, dj.

He is A problem. Not the biggest problem.

[Mikeanaro]

So it was Thibs, Sheridan go eat dick.

[Trainwreck2100]

aren't all coach's contracts guaranteed?

[sook]

aren't all coach's contracts guaranteed?

naw the last year of JVG's contract wasn't apparently from this article i read.
