Hornets Leaning Toward Letting Coach Clifford Go

In conversations with a bevy of league officials, as many as nine coaches – or almost a third of the league — could possibly be fired. Among the teams that are leaning heavily toward jettisoning their head coaches, according to league sources, are Memphis, Charlotte and Orlando. Additionally, Milwaukee, barring a deep run in the playoffs, and Phoenix are expected to hire new head coaches this summer.

Potential names that are popping up around the league for replacements as a whole (not just for the Hornets) include: Jerry Stackhouse (Raptors 905 coach), Nick Nurse (Toronto assistant coach), Monty Williams (San Antonio VP of operations), Mark Jackson (ESPN Analyst), Kevin McHale (Turner Sports Analyst), Jeff Van Gundy (ESPN Analyst), Rick Pitino (Former Louisville Head Coach), David Fizdale (Former Memphis Grizzlies Head Coach), Jason Kidd (Former Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach), Jay Wright (Villanova University Head Coach), Tony Bennett (University of Virginia Head Coach), and David Blatt (Darüşşafaka Head Coach). 

Current head coaches that could be interested in coaching elsewhere include Doc Rivers (Los Angeles Clippers Head Coach) and Mike Budenholzer (Atlanta Hawks Head Coach).

Current head coaches that may be available if not retained include Jeff Hornacek (New York Knicks Head Coach) and Stan Van Gundy (Detroit Pistons President and Head Coach).

Current interim coaches that could be available include Joe Prunty (Milwaukee Bucks Interim Head Coach) and Jay Triano (Phoenix Suns Interim Head Coach)

 

Anyone in particular you guys want if Coach Cliff is not retained?

Jay Wright - could he be next Brad Stevens? Idk, im not up on college coach prospects

Wright is amazing but doubt he would leave Nova.  Great coach though, good call.

One name on that list in the OP - Rick Pitino?  No way there.

Jerry Stackhouse is going to be looped into this team due to his UNC connection. That being said, he's been really good at his current post in the G League. Won a title there. I think he'd be a great Assistant/Assoc Head Coach to start.

Tony Bennett is a former Hornet and runs a defensive heavy system which should be something we are used to.

However, I think we need to go with a coach that is more offensively minded given the skillset of some of our younger assets. Idk what name to give you that qualifies to be honest.

    • Honestly, it wasn't on him last game. There are many other reasons that come before Bryce. Dave Canales is really starting to worry me. I mean there are glaring issues that can't be excused. I said back when the whole Rico/Chubba thing happened. I said right then that you cannot have a coach that handled those 4 or 5 games the way he did. I get it, most thought that he was trying to throw games, which was not wrong thinking because of how bad it was. The decisions right before half. The strict "Chubba gets this drive and Rico gets the next." It's seeming like a lot of our backups are the better talent, so he cant evaluate talent. Not calling a quarterback sneak because of size. Small quarterback have a different type of advantage, just not as good as a large quarterback, but still doable. Then he doesn't even explain why he didn't put Dalton in there (saying it would give away a quarterback sneak is...just stop). I honestly think he forgot about putting in Dalton. There are so many others that I'd have to re-watch the games to remember.  I could make a whole other post on that defensive game plan...absolutely awful. And a quick petition...see the quote above, can we please ban these weirdos and try to clean this place up. This is peak reddit right here and these losers will destroy the board. I couldn't make it though 3 pages because these morons post more than anyone else. These are the perpetual online freaking weirdos banned from getting too close to schools reddit mod types. Get these losers out of here. You got these freaks posting a ton and not answering the question OP posted ABOUT THE PANTHERS. This is supposed to be about football and this dork constantly tries to attack OP's question. Could you imagine someone in your real life group acting like this? You'd kick his butt out immediately. And you have this reddit loser trying to stop people for posting about the Panthers. Any normal person would just skip the post, but you have to remember these morons base their whole personality on their online persona. They would be banned almost everywhere else. Send him back to reddit, they will be a cancer to this place, trust me. I guarantee you he has more comments than 95% of accounts. These guys are the lowest in society so they live online. Its everything to them. You dont want that. Just read his responses. Do background check on that guy, there are younger people on this too and he probably isn't allowed to be talking to them, or be on here at all.
    • Neither of them are getting in. Cam had HOF potential but was squandered by Ron, Shula, and Gettlemen.
    • We have attempted several over the past two seasons. Maybe two successful?
