yeah pop ain't doing that.. or anything else for that matter. we are officially done.
i will add that i had no interest in vogel at all. and malone has some thorns. jenkins might have been the only one i might have warmed up to. so many ST fans here want to will the spurs into being the organization that they used to be under red mccombs. that franchise was the one that really sucked. mccombs would have hired the biggest name out there thinking that's the only solution. and please don't infer from this that I am all on board with mitch or every move the spurs have made.
That's kind of how how ownership of sports franchises works though. It's all passed down through the generations, for the most part.
I don't like it, but I'm not gonna jump off a cliff.
Texas A&M baseball was great last year, one win away from winning the national championship. They hired the assistant from that team (whom the players wanted) and were ranked #1 to start the season—before plummeting.
The Spurs are hiring an assistant (whom the players like) from a team that has sucked for 5-6 years. A team that doesn’t know basic stuff like boxing out or how to develop players. With several great coaches like Jenkins available. Because ‘Spurs (Sucky) Culture.’ This is a Dallas-level joke, and we may ultimately lose Wemby and the franchise because of it.
sorry i cant hear you from all the way down here
anecdotal evidence is a slippery slope.
Exactly. They don't owe him . They are a young team that needs an experienced leader. But hey...wait...they are getting an experience leader. Gregory Popovich.
ST hates the decision, which means coach Mitch is going to have a successful tenure as HC.
Another season of we like what we have and zero pressure for the players
I'm starting to wonder if they called coach bud and he declined because he knew that he would have to deal with Pop's meddling.
Bud's got it made, tbh. He's getting paid 4 seasons worth of money for one season of work(or whatever his contract was). If I were him I'd take a reset year.
Need to bring in some really good assistants now, and I don't mean keeping fn Brett around.
just going to promote the video coordinator guy who coached the summer league team tbh
Brett Brown looks like a Great Value Steve Kerr.
One day we’ll be ready to be ready. Until then we should all just be patient.
Lol man the hate is deap. Team is sitting with 2 rookie of the years, including once in a generational talent, a steal in fox, and losing just enough games to make this draft worth it, all while taking the next step in more wins compared to last year.
Guarantee you much of the coaching decisions this year were designed not to win the most games as possible, but to put the spurs in the best position for the draft and for the team for the following years. Next year its playoffs or bust and dont think anybody has a valid right to complain until there’s no more progress.
Stupid DET should have taken the Spurs advice and not hired the fired JB Bickerstaff (because all fired coaches are trash, apparently), because they weren’t ready to improve (they weren’t winning a le this year anyway, what were they thinking?). LOL Pistons
All he’s missing is the girl like Belichick
I'm kind of meh.
The only current coach of interest to me is Jenkins. That said- he's not like a slam dunk.
I think it's not completley unreasonable to give Mitch a whole year.
Also, thought there might be a strong possibility of hiring bud. But with this decision happening so quickly, Im willing to bet cards weren’t on the table since spurs will end up with durant, now that giannis is likely to be a rocket.
do you think anybody in this thread is expressing frustration with Castle, Wembanyama, or Fox?
He should get a chance because they already made a decision. You guys are reacting based on what you wanted to happen by wishing for a different coach. I'm reacting to him already being given the job and saying what they should do next.
On the one hand, I'm happy we avoided the grim finality of it all-- that something truly awful happens to Pop in front of the world. On the other; not a big fan of Mitch's getting the nod for the job but I understand it.
Spurs' offense improved slightly under Mitch, but the team's defensive schemes and overall execution of fundamentals (rebounding, rotations, charge-drawing etc.) have been abysmal. No way we should be this bad on that end having one of the greatest defensive anchors of all-time and the real DPOY on our roster. I'm totally on board with hiring elite defensive assistants on his staff (Mike Brown, JVG, Vogel..)-- guys who would be ready to take over if he fails at the job.
Another nitpick, he is too nice for my liking. Championships Coaches have a nasty streak and an appropriate, tolerable level of "prick" about them. Really hope it works out for him because the players seem to genuinely love him (see Wemby's comment about him at the end of season presser)
