@Mr. Scot - How long until you start preparing your Head Coach Candidate write-ups?

Honestly, if we have a losing season, I think Ron should be canned. Our team is so inconsistent, one season, a power house on offense, the next a flop. Another season a jaggernaut on defense, the next a flop. That is a sign of someone who does not know what he is doing. There is no way both units should keep flactuating like that.

 

Besides, one winning season out of four is mediocre.

Ron Rivera is still owed north of 15 million dollars guaranteed.

He ain't going nowhere.

 

Dom Capers was fired two years into a ten year extension.

 

If the team is enough of a mess by season's end, I believe Rivera will be fired.

 

I don't know that it's to that level yet, but with each passing week I see more potential of it getting there.

I don't think a losing season is enough.

 

But an embarrassment of a season might be.

A losing season should be enough. Having just one winning season out of four is more than enough to tell us what he is all about. Any coach can give a littany of reasons why they couldn't win on the season. It's up to the owner to accept that level of mediocrity or not. I know I wouldn't.

we're certainly headed for embarrassment! sadly Cam could walk and honestly he should weigh the coaching direction in his decision. In fact, coaching, protection, contract, and how the front office addresses the needs that will solidify the team.

all i know is NO MIKE SMITH!

 

Jerry Richardson has always had a preference for 'growing your own star' versus hiring someone else's.  I think the bad experience with George Seifert probably reinforced that idea.

 

My worry though: He also has a preference for defensive coaches, and I think the best candidate this coming season is probably an offensive coach.

 

A lot depends on how much leeway he'd give Gettleman (Steve Smith's release would indicate a lot).  The success Gettleman most recently was part of was with an offensive coach (Coughlin).

Honestly, I could be talked into it myself just based on what I've seen already.

 

I think it'd take something more to convince Jerry Richardson though.

Record notwithstanding, I'm embarrassed by this season.

 

Full disclosure though, I wasn't the world's biggest advocate of keeping Rivera before last season.

 

I feared last season might be an aberration but hoped it wasn't.  Right now my fears look smarter than my hopes.

Best to look for possible OC options...   since I fully believe that Rivera's job will be saved for another year when he tosses Shula out.....and while I know he probably likes Shula a lot, but  if it comes down to him or Shula......

true... in reference to Gettleman, him making some form of decision about RR "assuming" the season continues as is will certainly tell us much about who he really is. at the very least, he could fire Shula in the this season "assuming" we continue as is. smh... there is a thin line between unique intelligence and ridiculous. Gettleman is bordering both. RR has made it clear just based on his staff and the power allowed to them.

      Hornets Acquire Collin Sexton

      By frankw · Posted

      Been here since the Coliseum days. Hornets were the first pro team I ever rooted for. If they're ever going to get out of the gutter they have to establish a culture. They are trying to do that. I have no idea if it will be successful but it's a start.

      I don’t think I'd go that far but there is definitely legitimate reason to ask how much he actually values winning and being great as a basketball player. He is very easily distracted with off the court stuff. This has been a public criticism of people like LeBron James with some of the newer generations of "stars". And it is 1000% valid and needed to be said. All I can say is I hope this is the year. If it is it will be apparent fairly early on. But I get the sense if the same themes continue as the upcoming season progresses the FO could look to move him before the trade deadline. It would suck for a multitude of reasons and I don't want to see it happen but if it did it would be on LaMelo and LaMelo alone because they've given him the keys and are finally putting pieces around him. If he wants to be a great basketball player and win he will be here and do what is necessary for the team to be successful. If not well....
