Get Taylor Jenkins on the phone stat tbh.

Thanks for everything Pop. A GOAT in his time.

[NASpurs]

What a beautiful day.

There it is. Hopefully people can un-wad their panties now insisting he was gonna force his way back.

Thanks for everything, Pop. End of an era, and I'm glad he will still be involved. Truly one of the GOAT coaches and we were lucky to have him at the helm.

For real though, thanks for everything Pop. He built a dynasty. That was the right decision to make. Let him Pat Riley the situation and let's get a hungry headcoach, so we can get back to winning. Also good that they made the decision before the lottery. The new coach should be hired before the draft process.

Glad this news is coming now… so long as it is not followed by news that Mitch Johnson is being hired.

I have mixed feelings about him staying on as President of BBall operations. I don’t want the next HC to feel like they are living in Pop’s shadow or don’t have the autonomy they need… I also don’t want Brian Wright feeling like he is not empowered to do what he needs to do… let Brian cook! (To be fair, Brian may already feel completely empowered).

On the flip side, Pop remaining at President does provide continuity and Wemby seems to like Pop, so that’s important.

I’m thinking that a coaching hire may be be announced soon and that they’ve held off on announcing this while they finalize that deal. It won’t be Becky, considering the Aces have a game TODAY and they had plenty of opportunity to do that deal without disrupting the Aces season if they wanted to (which the Spurs won’t care about, but Becky likely will).

I’m thinking it will be Mitch or Jenkins.

Thanks for the years of excellence, Pop! Thanks for stepping out of the coach's seat, too.

The ing GOAT. Happy for him, I think it was the right decision for his health and well being. Awesome that he's sticking with the team in some fashion though.


You're a legend Pop, thanks for everything

[ralph nyc]

Amazing run by pop. Wemby at least got to get some coaching from pop before he retired.

Finally! End of an era. of a 30-year run Pop, but it's time.

Next stop: Hall of Fame.

Our GOAT is already in the HOF, tbh.

[Leetonidas]

GOAT coach. regardless of how he has performed the last few years he is a Spurs legend and deserves the fan bases respect. Thanks for everything Pop.

[NASpurs]

This site is running like ass though.

[itzsoweezee]

Congrats to the GOAT

[cutewizard]

Wow! Just wow

This means the Spurs are serious about contending now.....

Great move!

Now, do we go for Giannis or Durant????

[Bill_Brasky]

Thanks for everything, Pop. Can't ever replace the good memories.

[thOOdee]

Best there is, best there was, and best there ever will be. Thanks pop.

[cutewizard]

Who will be the new Head Coach????

[vy65]

My favorite coach of all time. We wouldn't be anywhere near where we are without him. Inspired me to be a lovable asshole to people. Worldly, articulate, and ing smart. It was definitely time, but still sad to see him go (upstairs).

Now let's hire Jenkins and get this cooking.

Thank you Pop for everything, but now take care of yourself.
