Three things that I really hope we get in the next coach

  1. Be as good a leader as Fox was. You might not like his approach, you might not want another conservative guy in here, but his guys played hard for him to the bitter end. Neither of our other coaches can say that.
  2. Hire and keep good people. That's one of the biggest aspects of being a head coach, and one of the least-discussed. Want to know why Smith is doing great in Atlanta? His staff is great, that's why. Remember why Payton finally won? He hired Williams. We need someone who can go out and get the best coordinators out there, and make them happy.
  3. Go for the jugular, on defense AND on offense. There were times under Fox when it really seemed like our defense wanted to just put the hurt on the other guys. This is why everyone loves Cowher too--his defenses played like that. I want someone who's fearless like that, and fearless on offense too. We've gone low-risk for long enough, and while there have been rewards they haven't been high enough. It's time to let the pendulum swing in the other direction.

You cant argue with the fact that Fox's guys love him and will play to the end for him but I wonder about his ability to "rally the troops". With a few notable exceptions it seems like once a game starts going south Fox was never able to get things going in the other way.

Not trying to turn this into a Fox bash thread, Id just like the next guy to be a better leader than fox was/is.

I think that kind of rests on the coordinators, which is what I think Fox's biggest flaw was. Fox can rally the troops, and he can get his coaches pumped up, but if his coordinators don't have effective "plan B" plans in the first place, then there's not a lot that can be done.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
