Considering Pop is a big part of all the personnel moves kind of negates your opinion
Seriously can you delete any thread involving "Pop is an idiot" etc. Im so sick of it, its ruining a good message board. Someone on here put it the best, he won us 4 championships! i'll except 4 years of coaching before I get mad at this guy. Grow the up its really getting old. Our roster is the problem you ing idiots, have you watched our offensive production? A lack of talent on the offensive end is not a coaches fault. CHECK YOURSELF.

pop gave us one of his tiest coaching performances this year. some of the things he did was mind boggling. won't say he's an idiot, but he's got to alter his style going into next season.
and just because he has 4 rings, doesn't mean he gets a pass when he does idiotic ...
but his roster is old as ...yeah his coaching performance wasn't as good as other years. But why is he an idiot? Think about some of the things he accomplished even last year. He isn't a has been he's just struggling with an old team and there rotations. Why betray his trust and call him an idiot? It just seems so unfair.
Go back and read the posts. There are several posters on this board that have a much better grasp of the abilities of this roster than the head coach does, clear back to Nazr's three pointer. Pop deserves the "idiot" label simply for his love of all things Michael Finley.
If he s up again next year. Than he deserves the "idiot' le.
You appear to be an Oxy-Moron. Do you even read what you type?
And then this last statement by you..."A lack of talent on the offensive end is not a coaches fault". Uh Duh, who do you think has the FINAL say on who the players are? I take it you don't really follow the game of basketball? Especially the Spurs!!!
yeah, that's me! Look, you're not going to out argue these idiots. I'd like to compare them to a bunch of 5 yr olds damning their parents for getting them a sweater for their birthday while forgetting that the year before they got them an XBOX 360
My ass could coach better than Poopavitch. Put him out to pasture.
I worship at the church of pop, BUT he ed big time with his comments of george hill and his playoff ready abilities. Huge up.. And his love for bonner also sux.
For those of us paying attention, the clock started in 2006.
Pop wasn't at his best this season. Even if he won't admit it, his coaching in this final game all but admitted his mistakes.
It happens. Players can have bad stretches. Coaches can have bad stretches.
Thankfully Pop has shown an ability to adapt, especially when he's backed into a corner. I wouldn't even consider the thought of firing him and I fully expect him to come back next year with better coaching success.
Ok the majority really doesn't like him. Im done convincing.
I for one don't realy want Pop fired. I just want the old Pop back.
Nothing speaks louder than the mistakes he's made. Just look at the last two seasons: Bowen covering Peja last year (Spurs fans called for it way before Pop figured it out), and Bowen and Hill this season. It has nothing to do with dislike for him, it has to do with calling him out for his mistakes just like we'd do with anyone else. If Timmy were mailing it in I'd call him out, and wouldn't expect there to be a bunch of calls to have the threads deleted because I've never posted up in the NBA.
I swear I was about to say this.
You won't get anyone better than Pop and while a lot of this is on him...not all of it is.
I understand ripping Pop but he's arguably the most important person in the history of the Spurs, and if you are going to rip for him his role on the GM side of things, then he deserves credit for all the years he's been successful, with pretty much less resources than any other guy winning championhips lately.
So no, don't fire Pop. Fire his role players and hope he doesn't get his first choice again.
In any case, Pop has won enough to where he has earned the right to say when he's going to call it a day.
And we aren't going to get anyone better...
I'd be perfectly happy if he just gets over himself and pulls his head out of his ass. I don't think I've seriously said or typed the words "Fire Pop" since about 2002, but I've come damn close to thinking it more than once in the last three years. This experiment with offense over defense, jacking up shots and small lineups has got to finally be declared a dismal embarrassing failure and be put to rest.
Can anyone seriously imagine Tim Duncan playing for another coach? I can't see that happening any more than I could see TD being traded. To echo what you said, they have both earned the right to say when it is over.
Pop is that you? Sorry pal, you were an IDIOT this year.
Yo. Nice one.
Pop's the biggest reason why San Antonio has four les, you ungrateful assholes.
BAH!
What he said.
