We’re hearing that the Bobcats may take a look at Jerry Sloan to replace Paul Silas.

The former Utah Jazz coach would be a tremendous, out-of-the-box choice and the first indication that Jordan is committed to turning his seven-win team around.

The obvious connection between Jordan and Sloan is that they both have their numbers hanging from the rafters in Chicago’s United Center. Beyond that, Jordan has great admiration for the coach he twice defeated in the Finals, at the end of his second three-peat.

Sloan might be tempted to return to the sidelines, if the situation and money are right. But what about taking over a team low on talent and embarking on a long rebuilding campaign, while working for an owner who doesn’t have deep pockets, doesn’t like to spend money on players and has been looking to sell half the team for close to a year?

Sloan is a GREAT, HOF head coach. But I can't help but think this team needs a young mind behind it. I don't know. If Sloan creates a really good coaching staff including a younger successor, this could work.

Sloan WAS a GREAT, HOF head coach TEN YEARS AGO.

that's what the Bobcats have...or should I say had now. How did that work out?

What's the saying? when you have two coaches you don't have one?

Sloan is still a HOF coach right? I think we all know his greatest work is behind him, that was to be implied.

And to answer your question no. I don't think we have a young mind behind the team, unless you are talking about Cho. I'm talking about a coach. There are good up & comers that would make good options.

Anyone whos white.

Other than Ewing, wouldnt mind him.

And people call KT a racist. There is a difference between joking and being blatantly racists and with me being a black person, I did not take this as a joke.

Why not a black person?

race doesnt matter, just give me the best coach/players...... i felt when bob johnson was here the team overly persued the pushing of black coaching and front office personel. all the marketing was def targeting blacks. since jordan has been here its just a UNC alum which is horrible, i just want the best people for the job. how hard is that?

He was being sarcastic & poking at KT, who is racist & brings up the color of a man's skin in every thread.

SNO is a white racist. The mods had to delete one of his racist threads earlier this week. The old let me dump on a black person to build white solidarity tactic backfired.

Nightcrawler most people want the best candidate for the job. But some of the white males in our community feel entitled that all their heroes to be white males. So if our black owner hires a black coach, it rubs them the wrong way. They hate multi culturalism, and hate seeing blacks in positions of authority (ex: me running this board, Bob running the Cat, Cam QBing our team) . You will never hear or see one of these folks complaining JR has hired too many white people or Wells Fargo has too many whites running the show. They want blacks tied to labor ONLY (athletes, working for whites) and not CAPITAL and OWNERSHIP

. Its very much a new south white male mentality Im describing. And its always PROACTIVE, not REACTIVE. They always throw the first rock, much like they did in this thread.

As for Sloan he'd be a great hire and would bring a toughness and work ethic to our team. Age would be the only factor.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
