It just shows a lot of people have limited knowledge when it comes to this sport when they spout off about not only being wrong about firing Monty but that we should bring him back.

The same sort of stuff that you hear when someone says "Let's re-sign a player we had before" but then, we traded then re-acquired Quincy Pondexter and then the Saints re-signed Jahri Evans, and the best LSU could do with two months is promote the interim coach, so having limited vision is just the Louisianian way.

Was Monty a great head coach? No.

Was he better than what we have now? Absolutely.

Did we fire the wrong man? I don't need to answer that.

I think majority would have given Monty one more year if they could go back in time.

Once again it all leads back to Demps. He can't even get the coaching hire right. He is at the core of this team's shortcomings.

I wouldn't. Just because Gentry sucks more doesn't mean Minty didn't suck. We hired the wrong guy.

The revisionism is strong with a few folk.

I still remember the complains about our stagnant offense. The fact that despite Monty being a defensive coach, our defense was never a strength. The only thing Monty did really well was plays out of timeouts and he got he most of our players, sure. But that has a finite limit.

Monty had reached his apex and he wasn't good enough to reach the next level. It's not like we didn't give him five whole seasons. We did what LSU should've done with Les Miles three or four years ago. You don't always fire a coach because you think he's awful or the worst coach in the NBA or whatever nonsense superlatives that makes it easier to advocate firing someone.

Sometimes it's because you don't see any way up from a certain point but to change pilots.

Maybe Gentry is all wrong. But I am almost convinced that Dell Demps is a large problem in and of himself. Keeping Gentry should be solely the province of whomever we hire as GM next.

I have my issues with Gentry. Frankly, some of them are the same things Thibs is struggling with like in-game adjustments. And I was a really big Thibs proponent. Still am.

With that said, he is being dealt a bad hand with injuries and turnover harming the ability to start season's out with chemistry and cohesion. A roster that even when healthy is a mix of mis-matched parts and has major talent deficiencies.

And I do have to give him credit for bringing along Buddy and putting him in a position where he is succeeding and not falling into some of the traps many coaches do with rookies.

Bring back Monty . Although Devin Booker does not want to play for him after this season. We might benefit from Minty being at PHX. Fire Griffin if he can pull this off.

Lol I am impressed I didn't say anything really stupid. In fact was one of the few more reasonable folk regarding Monty.

I always thought he was a young coach figuring it all out and made progress. His teams also showed progress during the year all things equal including injuries. And yes Montys coaching style does show he can adapt to today's game just as he was doing, or trying to do here. Got into a big argument about that on another Monty thread with ye who shall not be named.

Whereas Gentrys young team showed inconsistency and outright regression on both ends of the floor.

Pretty obvious Monty is a much better coach for a team with young stars.

Id go back and give Monty one more year,just based on the implications that it likely would have saved his wifes life.

I said before the season CP3 would have that Suns team top 4 in the west this year. I couldn't find a single soul or publication that thought the same. They all had the Suns fighting at the bottom seeds.

I bet if you swapped Chris Paul for Kevin Love or Drummond, he'd have that Cleveland team in the same situation in the east.

No, its a reminder that over a long enough timeline, every fan base will want the coach fired. Not a matter of if, just when

And its because fans want the fix to be as simple as possible, and no fix is simpler in theory than replacing one coach with another. There are no salary cap penalties, no restrictions, etc. You can literally do it any time with practically no consequence. A fan will always want to believe that this change is the solution

In 2015, a firing was, in fact, in order...the firing of Dell 'Dumps'. In 2014, he was the guy who brought New Orleans the "Omer Asik Experience"; not Monty.

But he also said that he was just completely done after last season. Exhausted beyond belief.

Dont think he would come back this year and put in all the extra effort to fix something on the fly. Next summer, maybe. But honestly, I would prefer to find a long term solution, not a stop gap.

Go all in on Shaka Smart!
