James Borrego / Matt Rhule…. Is their a worse 1-2 combo

[TheBigKat]

Of professional coaches in one city?

 

JB is massively underachieving with his horrendous defensive philosophies, getting blown out two years in a row in the play in game and already wasted two years of LaMelo’s career.

 

then there’s Matt Rhule

I don't follow the NBA anymore but Matt Rhule and Phil Jackson might still be the worst 1-2 combo.

The Hornets were 1 game away from the playoffs this season.

The Panthers have won 10 games the past two seasons.

The latter is infinitely worse than the former.

For years, whoever was the coach of the Bengals along with whoever managed the Reds were the worst.

If there's any good news, the Bengals did reach the Super Bowl this year with the same upper management structure they've had in place from the beginning. However, Reds management recently gave the fans the finger, so not all is going well there.

I would argue that being one game away from the playoffs is the worst possible finish in the NBA. In a league where your fortunes depend heavily upon the top 3 players on your roster, if you're going to miss the playoffs, miss them big. Being stuck in the middle of the pack in the NBA is purgatory, you're never bad enough to get good enough picks to get meaningfully better.

Both coaches probably know the difference between their and there.

Ahh, you might wanna edit that before it's too late.

Maybe miggy and rod the bod can replace them.  FC and the Canes are where it's at right now.

[CarolinaLivin]

At least the hornets had a winning record this year. While we’re waiting 7 years for that the jay-z way…

I think the Tepper/Jordan owner combo is an overstuffed bag of dildos.

The problem with that line of thinking is that with the new lottery odds, tanking doesn't guarantee you near as much in the NBA as it does in the NFL. Far better to try and compete.

It figures you would be one of the ones who think JB is a bad coach.

Borrego is not head coach material. At least not at this point. He seems better suited as a #2. Some guys are just better at being a top assistant than they are as the top dog.  Bill Guthridge, Bud Foster, etc. 

Ruhle is a college coach. Not a good NFL coach at all. Both franchises won’t be able to take the next step until they replace both of these guys. Nothing personal because JB and Ruhle both seem like decent men but they are not getting the job done here.

To Borrego’s defense though.  He has no control in personnel moves like Rhule.  And the Hornet’s big men=Panthers OL/QB situation.   Only so much you can do to coach up a pile of poo.
