How long does Pop stick around?

I made a 2020 thread a month ago stating why I think that's the case

1996-2020 would tie him with Sloan for longest stretch with one team.

Think about that 24 years at the same job. A grade schooler at the start of his term would have a wife, kids, mortgage by the time he hung it up.

Then you say this immediately after:


"pull a Kerr" then "I'm not saying Kerr is faking"... then "make up an excuse to..."


I don't think anyone here knows Pop, don't pretend you do, stick.

That's a lot of bluster. Frankly, I thought it went w/o saying that Pop didn't need to be legitimately injured (severely) to pull a Kerr. But it's somehow an issue for you. Let me know if you need someone to mop the tears.

Actually though, Pop could decide he is only going to coach home games and a select number of road games. He doesn't even need to pull a Kerr; he can just do what he's been doing for his players for years now. The machine run itself at this point, anyways.

I don't claim to know everything about Pop. I do know basic human psychology though. It's clear to any practical observer that Pop has enjoyed elements of his icon status in addition to the actual coaching itself. The alternative is going home and being anonymous. He's become to spoiled to want to go that route too soon.

Did I ever say Kerr was faking? That's on you for assuming, dude. I mean it was ambiguously presented, I'll give you that. But once it was explained to you, you went into a tizzy and doubled down on some lame . Maybe you should try to up the bar on your maturity level a bit. That's real advice for ya. You're operating on a middle school level. But whatever works for you, dude.

Just saying because you don't strike me as stupid like some of these trolls. But you become an emotional deuche and it's unbecoming. I mean, it's only a message board so maybe you don't give a on that front. But I hope it's not bleeding over to your real life or visa versa is all I'm saying.

Even if he retires he's just going upstairs, so it's Pop's way for the foreseeable future. He took control of the team somewhat hostilely, and you'll have to pry it away from his cold dead hands. Soviets like long reigns.

He said it wasn't fun anymore

Once his right knee gave him trouble, it was no longer fun for him.
