You do have a point. But both those coaches were fired, and we do have an intriguing roster, with an emerging superstar. Would they really totally snub their noses at us just because they didn't want to wait for the offseason? I just have to think that AD will be a very enticing draw for a coach.
If you will excuse me, I have to go return some video tapes.
You are missing another category - people who realize there is no better alternative for the rest of this season and are willing to let him play out the last 74 games to see if he can figure it out. If not, fire him and do a full coaching search while you have the attention of coaches at every level. You can't talk to Shaka Smart or Bill Self right now, for instance. Why just hire somebody else just to hire someone? The summer is when you will have the best chance to do an exhaustive search and find the right guy if Monty doesnt get it together

How enticing was Durant?
Small market, roster configuration is questionable at best with no real flexibility, and you have to try and put the bicycle together as you ride it. And, oh yeah, you probably will be one of the lower 15 coaches salary wise.
Not that enticing to veteran coaches IMO.
Fair point. Though if just one of them thought AD could be top 5, I think they'd take a chance. Perhaps a season with no expectations and so many built in excuses would sell them. Maybe if they thought our problems were easily fixed. *shrug* But I doubt it, unfortunately. Just the thought of another whole season with Monty is enough to depress a man.
idk if it would help us this year but at the same time idk if it could really hurt us...i never thought monty would get fired midseason, i always thought it was a possibility at the end of the season...and it is starting to look like that if we continue to play like this
i don't think monty is a good coach and obviously he is not completely to blame...but if you think he is a bad coach and after 4 years and 3 straight bad seasons, teams usually make the change and try to upgrade at the end of the season...now do we know whomever we replace him with at the end of the season would be an improvement? of course not...but just like we need to upgrade at certain personnel areas you should try to upgrade at coach too...it would be silly to stick with a coach who you think is a bad coach
now i am starting to think he should be fired during the season if we continue to get outhustled and play with no energy...if it comes to the point where the writing is on the wall for monty, then there is no point in sticking with him for the season...and maybe a change would bring about energy, who knows..wouldn't make things any worse
the lack of energy is what is most frustrating with the team..i remember in byron's last year, i was so frustrated at the team's lack of energy/hustle that i thought it was time for byron to go..but even i was surprised of his early firing...i really am starting to get that same feeling this year...i honestly would not be surprised if monty gets fired on thursday if we lose tomorrow night in a similar fashion as tonight's game
monty seems like a nice guy..but nice guys usually make for good lead assistants...he doesn't seem to be a guy that players fear..and i think this team needs some of that
Monty is here for the year. If not, you are looking at Randy Ayers or Bryan Gates.
I just want people to realize that as they scream for Monty to get fired. Welcome to the real world.
I don't think we make the playoffs ..my fear is we will finish some between 7-10 and lose our pick . This draft is deep . We may need to go in tank mode if this doesn't get turned around by game 25
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
1) Try to interview Karl, Hollins, Jeff Van Gundy, SVG, Jerry Sloan, and whoever else.
2) To not blow 16 point leads at half time. To get the most out of the players on your team like the Lakers and Suns and Celtics are doing. To be able to score more than 20 points in a quarter and 40 points at halftime. To have good and flexible rotations, play your best players the most minutes, call timeouts, yell at players or bench players if need be. To motivate players and demand the best out of them. To have an offense that is faster, more ball movement, generates more 3's and easier shots. Just some of these things would be nice.
Mainly I expect the Pelicans to win games when they are favored.

Id rather lose with an crappy interim coach for just the remainder of the season than lose with Monty.
