Definitely absurd to fire a coach with less than ten games to go, lmao. How do you install and execute anything at this point? Even if you're elevating an assistant, there are things you just don't do.
Not sure if serious?

i remember when back i first joined this forum in 2012, there already were people calling for pop's head. there was that long-standing "any popsuckers going to do damage control" thread. and aside from just being a generally unhinged thought, its not like there were any obvious candidates. people kept yelling "carlisle is a better coach" as if he was going to be made available at that time, but there never were realisitc alternatives to pop (not that pop was even bad then, he just liked his pets a little too much)
but now, pop's decline as a coach has been obvious for a few years now. his health issues provide a graceful off-ramp instead of just being "fired for performance." and for once, there actually are reasonable candidates around. Jenkins is obviously one (good coach, spurs ties). I still like Vogel quite a bit (success at multiple stops, won a le, has dealt with superstars). And potentially Bud if phoenix fires him after 1 season.
And Memphis just fired all but 2 of his assistants last summer already, Iisalo and LaRoche and more were in their first year ... Something is weird with that organization
But this does look like them desperate to keep Iisalo, who could probably leave for a euro top job any time he felt like it
Spurs too far up Pop's bedridden ass to even ask permission to interview Iisalo before now. Sad.
Something really doesn't add up. The Grizz might have a hard time getting coaches in the future if they are afraid of just being fired with no warning less than a month before the playoffs start.
Agree Quinn has been for a long time I thought best choce

You couldn't have waited to see if someone takes the bait.
Please, God, let this happen.
Dude must of really fcked up
Interesting rant.
Even rants about Fox torching Edey.
I mean for us on this forum no many but within the spurs organization it will mean something.Not sure if serious?

We are talking about a team who might allow someone over 70 who had a stroke to return to coaching for no other reason than "he earned that right"
They most definitely won't have a hard time getting coaches. There are only 30 of those jobs in the entire world. If it is offered no one is turning that down because they fired Jenkins, or anybody else.
if history shows us anything is that the Grizzlies already know who their next head coach is. It's Doc Rivers, who has gotten all but one of his coaching jobs off the back of another coach being fired, including literally the job he has right now
Ranting about guarding Durant with the much smaller Bane? Uh-oh, after his brilliant Mills-on-Durant strategy nostalgia, Pop might be ready to have over the reigns.
Interesting rant.
Even rants about Fox torching Edey.
I can see him in his Breaking Bad wheelchair, pounding the bell, "me gusta!"
when was his last le?
Edey has been about as expected. effective scorer when on the court. cant stay on the court as much as they'd like because he's just too slow. and you arent paying Ja/Bane/JJJ et al to run your offense through Edey
Surprising. He has to be the front runner for the Spurs. There have been quite a few complaints about his rotations and in game management from Griz fans but I think that happens with every coach.
Spurs need someone like Taylor with fire and youth who won’t tolerate lazy defense which is about 3 quarters of the Spurs rotation.
Anyone know how many years he had left on his contact?
Did you see where Stephen A said he would? I know some people do not like LeBron, but he might win over some of those people by pummeling Stephen A into the ground

I'd immediately declare him the GOAT over MJ if that happened tbh. I'd buy a Bronny jersey as tributeDid you see where Stephen A said he would? I know some people do not like LeBron, but he might win over some of those people by pummeling Stephen A into the ground
My too, but I think we’re outa luck there.
There was a YT short related to it, and someone posted the Jay Z lyric “Loud as a motorbike,but wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight”. Kinda sums up SAS pretty well.Did you see where Stephen A said he would? I know some people do not like LeBron, but he might win over some of those people by pummeling Stephen A into the ground
Chris Vernon is one of the worst basketball analysts out there. He's awful. Taylor Jenkins record speaks for itself. If Ja doens't do stupid they don't implode. Its been downhill since then.
Interesting rant.
