I don't think Boylen is nearly as bad as people here make him out to be. Yes that "forgot about Kawhi" incident was dismal and the Ayers signing didn't pan out, but he was a big part of the staff that won a ring, and in dominating fashion at that.

[SpurPadre]

YES, YEAH, TAKE HIM, HOIBERG!!!! Just hope he doesn't forget which players he has if and when you get tossed during a game.

Many will hope he won't forget to bring Ayers along with him.

Coach Boylen was a big part of the staff, who's organization were the clear favorites to ring in 2014.

But I think you're asking about

he was a big part of the staff

Everyone was a large part of the team & staff during the 6 run in their own way, no? (Queue the Parker weirdos).

I'd much rather Messina be the one who goes. The main reason is because I don't think anyone considers Boylen the heir apparent for the HC job. Boylen is harmless as an assistant. More in the Newman and PJ brand than the Bud or Brent vein. That's fine, since Udoka probably has the HC job on lock once Pop is gone.

[K...]

Guys like bud and brett were here for years. Boylen is still pretty new by spurs standards.He's probably a better coach than we've been allowed to see. I think it's 50/50 he'll leave. Pop, messina, udoka, is not bad any stretch. I imagine he might feel upstaged by messina or maybe he just wants back to the Midwest?

[Juan]

Udoka > Boylen

[Uriel]

The Spurs are fond of Boylen and appear determined to keep him, sources said.
