Nick nurse come on down
Death, taxes, and D’Antoni included in our coaching rumors.
Everyone else besides Vogel would be excellent
This is a fine list. Don’t want Vogel at all but all the other options are fine. Nurse, Williams, and MDA are my top three choices IMO.
I am gonna jump off a bridge if we get Bud or Monty
I want Nurse
I’m afraid they hire Monty and he’s the same thing. Team was awfully unprepared in back to back Game 7s with stacked rosters
I would take any of these guys over Doc
Nurse, Cassell and Vogel are my top three imo. I just don’t trust Monty to be much different from Glenn.
What a great season to fire Doc, especially with Nurse on the table
If we hire Bud it’s mega over. Monty would be cool but then I remembered he’s the only coach Bud outplayed in a series. Cassell tho hmmmm
Nurse
imagine we hire someone who actually runs plays other than “joel iso and everyone else stand around”, I think i’d cry
Now we wait and see on what Harden does, because that’s going to be a huge factor in the hire.
End of the day, it still comes down to personnel. We desperately need bigger wings that can create some of their own shots while being fast enough to keep in front of their man. We need the team to be so much tougher and focused. A coach can only get so much of that to the surface. It has to already be in there to begin with.
Nurse can be a dick. We need a dick.
in order of who i’d like:
1. Sam Cassell
2. Nick Nurse
3. Monty Williams
4. Frank Vogel
5. Mike Budenholzer
6. Mike D’Antoni
I don’t want D’Antoni or Bud, would be fine with any of the others but seems promoting Cassell would be one of the better moves. Otherwise think I’d prefer Nick Nurse for any of the outside hire options.
Woj: Sixers expected to consider every head coach candidate on the market.
Another former championship winning coach. I sure that’ll go well this time.
How this city never learns. Our only two championships in the last 40 years came with Doug Pederson and Charlie Manuel. Two under the radar types no one wanted.
The John Tortorella, Joe Girardi, Doc Rivers, Alain Vingeault hires never work.
Find the next great coach. Not a retread who has a ring from a once in a lifetime perfect situation.
Will be interesting to see which job coaches want between the Suns, Sixers and Bucks. Imagine Nurse will have his pick between them all
Nick Nurse
Frank Vogel
Sam Cassell
Nurse 10000%
SAM CASSELL!
I want Nurse. somebody has to get into Joels head, that he can’t play like a bitch.
Has to be Nick Nurse.
I think Nurse is at the top of my list, but I’m willing to give Cassell a chance too. Vogel and Bud are definitely lowest, but that’s a pretty solid list.
Kenny Atkisson please
Give me Jay Wright. It doesn’t hurt to ask him if he’s interested.
Fucking hated Nick Nurse on the Raptors, perfect reason to hire him
Think Jay Wright gets in the mix?
Those who still basically believe in Morey as a decisionmaker (and I lean in that direction, though I know many don’t) have been saying for years that he didn’t get to pick his coach for this team. Well, now he will, and he’s got a very strong slate of candidates here (and probably some more who aren’t mentioned if he wants to go in a different direction), so this will be a test of Morey’s acumen in putting the pieces together to help us bounce back from years of stallouts and shameful defeats in the playoffs. I more or less like every name on this list, though I’m most skeptical of Bud and Vogel despite their recent championships… but we’ll see. I am so curious to see who they ultimately go with.
dawn staley
Nurse is by far the best option.
Nurse or Cassell please.
Why not Becky Hammon? She’s got my vote.
Give Sam a chance. We need some dawg!
Fucking finally. Let’s get a coach that will speed the game up, actually run some sets, schemes and will hold these players accountable.
Nurse or Cassell are my top picks
Can’t believe people still think MDA is anything more than a regular season coach, move on already.
I’d like to have Sam cassell get a chance
Dawn Staley lesgo
I am so sick of rehashing failed coaches. PLEASE give Sam Cassell a chance.
