Fizdale most recently served as the head coach for the Memphis Grizzlies where he led the Grizzlies to the Western Conference playoffs in his first season as the head coach with a 43-39 record. Fizdale was relieved of his position this year after the Grizzlies started 7-12 and Fizdale publicly criticized Grizzlies center Marc Gasol.

I'd love this hire. I was reading an article about all of the potential coaches on the market last night and WISHING we would fire Clifford so that we could get in on them. Fizdale, Blatt, Stackhouse and a few others ALL sounded very promising and that is certainly better than anything Cliff was going to provide. The way he ruined Monk's rookie season over ego or stubbornness was ludicrous. He may be the world's best assistant coach be he is crap as a head coach. Maybe he could do something with a team like golden state or the cavs but... hell WHO COULDN'T!?!?!?

Fizdale would be a solid hire, but let's be real here. Of the current head coach openings, Charlotte is probably the least desirable since we are loaded with awful contracts and have a late lottery selection. New York and Orlando each have a better stable of younger players and will both have a higher pick. I think it's likely Fizdale will have his choice of wherever he'd like to go. My guess is that it won't be Charlotte. Would love to be wrong.

I like Stackhouse as a candidate a lot though. He seems to be a very realistic get.

Looks like the Hornets have honed in on Fizdale, Messina, and Udoka.

Personally, I'd prefer 1. Fizdale, 2. Messina, 3. Udoka

I'll note that it was also reported that Stackhouse is a contender for the Hornets vacant head coaching position, however, apparently the Magic are the most interested team in Stackhouse.

I agree with that order. Will honestly be happy with Fiz or Messina

I find it interesting that Spurs fans are openly and legitimately upset that Udoka is being considered. Most of them would much rather have Messina leave than Udoka. I don't know much about either, but makes me wonder....

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
