A lot of youngings in Spurstalk who only remember the Duncan days and not the Red McCombs era. This offseason is extremely important and we already butchered it. The last time the Spurs were this badly run was when we hired Lucas as our coach bc “he is the cheapest coach in the league.”
Imagine any other team in the league that has lost 7 years in a row and then hired their next coach internally instead of doing ANY other interviews. Everyone here would be laughing at that team and say how stupid and badly run of an organization they are. And we have become that team! There’s no way to justify this move. None. And even if you wanted to hire Mitch, why not even interview any other candidate?
The Spurs have officially announced to the world that they are fine with the status quos and have no interest in winning. I don’t even care who we draft anymore or who we sign in the offseason. We are a joke of an organization.

I’ll do an sig bet with you on this,KA. I have references that I honor these bets.
BTW, bringing up the McCombs era when discussing whether the team will or won’t make the playoffs is hardly a cautionary tale. From DRob’s arrival to the 96-97 season, when the Spurs set a then record for player games missed, they made the playoffs for 7 consecutive years.
Assuming health (Wemby/Fox playing 70 games), that would be a complete fiasco if you look at the landscape of the West.
With the talent on the team there is no excuse for failing to make the playoffs.
If Wemby and Fox are healthy throughout... they make it.
Interesting how OP "knows" that no other candidates were interviewed. Must be a front office mole.
What would you like me to change mine into?
Pretty damn sure it would’ve been reported if we interviewed Mike Malone or any assistant coaches around the league. Or literally anybody. Wemby is a big deal buddy. The Spurs choosing his next coach would’ve been reported
Your underrating the impact of a true lead guard on this team with a training camp. They anchored this team by starving it in that position for years to get young talent and now they have their engine.
Because David Robinson was that ing good. A competent organization would’ve done better
This. Plus I am already used to Mitch Johnson as the Spurs head coach.
I'm also really disappointed with Mitch getting the job, but we should have enough talent to easily win 45 games if everyone's healthy.
Would've been close to .500 this season if Wemby stayed healthy.
Unless Mitch turns out to be horrible, we should be fine to treadmill around. But if we're to win playoff series, we need him to be an actual coach and not Pop's yes man.
I already brought it up in another thread. Who's to say the Spurs didn't interview anyone else? Who's the say if they did want someone else that, that person/candidate didn't turn them down? You never know, the expectations and also maybe not having total control with Pop in the front office, that might have turned some candidates away. It could also be a money thing. Maybe a coach or two was set to take the job and the Spurs' salary offer was underwhelming?
I also mentioned that I don't think Bud was ever a possibility as they'd have to pay him $10M a year, and there's no way the Spurs would pay him that much while also playing for Pop at the same time. Bud's not going to throw away all that Phoenix money to come here for $5M or less. As far as I was told, if he signed with another team, he'd lose all the money the Phoenix still owes him. Apparently Monty Williams is coaching his son's team for free as he's still getting paid by Detroit. I don't think many people would give up that amount of money. These guys aren't players where they can make it up again on their next contract.
damn, the off-season is over already?
You underestimated Fox, the development of Castle and the 3rd-year alien.
These big-3 alone will take us to top 8.
Plus, we have two solid drafts and at least 2 to 3 new signings.
We will be top 5 team next year. Book it!
Pop is no a thorn in the side of the Spurs. Mitch Johnson is a bottom feeder coach at best. Do not look for additional vets to improve the team cause Pop won’t allow it. The possibility of Wemby moving on sooner then later just went way up statistically.
I do not see how we miss the playoffs with a healthy Fox & Wemby.
I don’t know if the Spurs wil make the playoffs (they should)… but I do know that if we DON’T Make the playoffs then every single member of the front office from RC to the Coyote’s fluffer should be fired. RC and Wright put their own jobs on the line with this hire, IMO, and there should be no escaping the consequences (or flowers)
Wrong. Wemby won't even talk about his recovery process. You think the org is going to announce their HC interviews or hiring process so randos like you are placated?
If they miss the playoffs next year nobody will be fired.
We don't want that to be true but we all know it will be.
That's not how The Family operate. There will *always* be an excuse to give everyone involved "just one more year to see what we have" ad infinitum.
If our forward rotation is Barnes-Sochan-Champ-Keldon then I agree the Spurs won’t make the playoffs.
The Spurs need to upgrade the rebounding and defense first and foremost and the best way to do that is the forward positions.
Yet his actual injury was reported. Again, I’m not saying that we are going to get word for word what was said in an interview. But I do know that an interview happening would have been reported or leaked by the agent at least. They want their peoples names out and about as head coaching candidates. The fact that you think otherwise is pretty weird considering teams leak all the time who they interview.
Woof! Lol.
Break out the eye coverings and the rifles.
It's on.
Toss a grenade to make sure.
You know, in case one of them is some sort of Solomon Grundy.
ZZZZZ op is always such a whiny re . don't show your face when we start winning games again. clearly wemby is good with this decision. I'll take the opinion of him over some fat losers on here like op.
