Good point, and while we are starting to see more "What are the Spurs doing?" kind of questions (though not too much), the vibe is still that Pop is great and the Spurs will somehow someway eventually be good again. Anyone else with the results the Spurs have been putting on the board the last 5-years would be at the top of any "hot seat" ranking, but this four-days old article ranks two first-year coaches and one second-year coach as on the hot seat.
I'll be the first to show gra ude for Pop and the five-rings he's brought here (as a self-described former Sniffer), and firmly believe he is the greatest coach of all time... but the lack of accountability or criticism of the the FO in the entire post-Kawhi era is quite stunning. I get the feeling that we are just viewed as this cute small-market franchise with a rich past but who now exists as fodder for other teams or, worse, a farm team (my German football club, BVB, is a potential example of this, though they are consistently second best in that league and compete in Champions League every year). It kind of reminds me of Williams Racing in F1... there is no real criticism or accountability because no one cares about Williams Racing
