Saunders sucks
Pistons wasted 3 years with him
I can see maybe after last year with their meltdown against the Cavs. But losing this year to Boston was almost a given as stacked as that team is. They might as well had let him finish out his year. I don't know who else out there who might be a suitable replacement.
Chicago might be the best destination for him. In Phoenix, he'd have to deal w/ Shaq and Amare. And after having Sheed for the last 3 years, he might not be so anxious to surround himself with personalities such as theirs.
Meltdown against the Cavs? More think the Cavs got breast fed.
Firing Flip was not the key. I am not going to argue anyone, but when I go posting stats and records next year and the year after you'll understand.
Dumb move...Flip was great these past two seasons...
Flip is a curse! I feel sorry for whoever will hire him if he even does
You must really hate the Pistons
funny. He took a team that went to the finals back to back and couldnt get them back.
I hope Dtroit hires JVG
Perfect fit
if they wanna have a shot at a le they need Terry Porter
The players lack of hunger and intensity have nothing to do with that?
I was kidding!!!!
[QUOTE=Pistons < Spurs;2574625]The players lack of hunger and intensity have nothing to do with that?[/QUOTE
Yes. Coaching has a big deal with the locker room/lack of hunger and intensity
I think he was joking.
Radio reports I heard today listed Curry, Terry Porter and A.J. as the likely candidates to replace Flip.
I don't think Flip would join a team as an assistant especially with a paycheck coming in, he will be TV bound for the upcoming season.
If Coach Bud goes to Phoenix, I wonder who we would hire?
Next question.
^^ I think A.J. will land a head coaching job yet.
I hope he doesnt. and i hope the suns take bud so we can have AJ! Then he can take over for Pop when he retires
not surprising, what was surprising is that they hired him. a few people mentioned aj there, that would be an awesome fit imo. good call on that one.
if he gets hired he loses 12 million
spurs are not going to give him 4 million a year to be pop's assistant
Wow.... didn't see that coming.
Reaction: why am I not surprised about this? I figured his time was up..........
Didn't Flip Saunders coach the Timberwolves when Garnett was there? He didn't last too long there either did he?
no i didnt say it was going 2 happen but it would be niceif he gets hired he loses 12 million
spurs are not going to give him 4 million a year to be pop's assistant
What are the open coaching jobs left? Pheonix and Detroit?
Bucks-Scott Skiles
Knicks-Mike D'Antoni
Bulls-Doug Collins (reportedly)
Dallas-Rick Carlisle
Heat-That Asian Guy
Man, there were a lot of coaching vacancies this year...
As for Flip, I thought he deserved the boot after last postseason's meltdown against Lebron and Cleveland which could have been avoided if he made some adjustments on his defense against him.
This year though, I blame the players and Boston just played better than them when it counted most.
