I'm not really for tanking to remove Lloyd. I'm not crazy about him lately, but I still want to get close to the 8th spot, before getting further in a hole.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

Tanking? You mean purposely of the way we are doing it now with Lloyd on board? There is tanking and there is righting the ship. Let’s face it with Lloyd on board we are unintentionally tanking anyways because of his crappy head coaching and strategies or lack there of!

Look I was a Lloyd supporter all this time, just kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I can see now it’s not gonna get any better long term for us. I just don’t want to win twenty something game and then let go of Lloyd at the end of the season, that’s another 6 months we are going to waste.

We are in a pickle no doubt.

There’s a person on fb that’s actually more angry than I am about Lloyd and has come up with a petition to get him fired. :lol: I won’t use her name but initials are CC. I’m sure those with fb have seen it.

I haven’t signed it cuz it looks like it’s shady and will blow my computer up but this lady maaaaad! :lol:

Anyone seen this petition? The petition though has some dudes name on it but she’s pushing the agenda hard.

Yeah I saw that. You know what, i'm actually okay with making a move for a new coach. Atkinson deserves a shot here. Think he got a raw deal in Brooklyn. LP just ain't no more. Just don't have a good vibe about him elevating this teams on the X's and O's side.

Omg I’d kill for Atkinson right now. Dantoni... Mark Jackson...Sam Mitchell... I’ve never seen a worse x and o’s coach. I thought I hated Fratello and kinda did. Weiss was horrid, Lenny was cool, Stotts was getting feet wet, Lon Kruger.. uhhhhhh.. Woody..

We need a coach coach in Atlanta.

The best we’ve had was Bud and he was damn good except he stunk at adjusting in the playoffs.

I’d rather a coach that gets us a 5-8 seed then is an absolute killer in the playoffs, I don’t know if that exists.

After Nate won those 2 games and I saw how differently we looked down the stretch in those games, I had seen all I needed to see. I thought this team just needed move on from Collins and move some pieces around(I still do really), but LP seems more of the issue.

Wish Bud never had his GM role. Probably would have worked out better for him. Crazy how 2 of his assistants got jobs as HC's, but we couldn't get anyone to stay after he left.

Yup agreed. I think they just can’t hear Lloyd’s voice anymore. He keeps saying the same stuff over and over and that used to work with young players back in the day but doesn’t seem to anymore. Ya, Bud’s tree has had some nice pieces in Atkinson and Taylor Jenkins in Memphis and others. Bud is a really good coach but still remains to be seen if he can win in the playoffs.

Lloyd isn’t going to win in the preseason, regular or playoffs, it’s a wrap for him. Question is not if but when at this point.

TBF, Lloyd was always most likely to be a bridge coach with a short shelf life.

Also...Dan Quinn made it to a Super Bowl.

Right, even if made one of the worst second half ever, they were in the Superbowl, while the Hawks are far away from a Finals at this moment

I didn’t say s*** I said $hit, is that not allowed? I’ve seen it before. I wanna play by the rules of that’s a rule but I put a $ in there. Also, I believe you can use my favorite word, BITCH, simply because it means female dog, no? Don’t take my favorite word away Jam? I think bitch is allowed worldwide.

Go Hawks!

He was pretty awful. Supposed defensive guru. Did make it to the superbowl on the backs of a top tier offense and one of the worst defenses in the league. Horrible clock management and personnel decisions.

It is interesting that we haven't heard any votes of confidence in Lloyd or reports from the organization that LP's job is still secure.

The silence from leadership is pretty telling.

Lloyd is a clown. Okongwu plays well and he yanks him. :banghead: Frickin idiot. I hope fans boo the crap outta this clown when we are allowed back in the building. I’ll take a rumble at the palace style and just start whaling on Lloyd. Quit you bum!

This teams not tanking at all.
The coach just sucks.
Non Hawk fans are realizing how poorly coached the team is now that Trea isn't making an effort to go to the free throw line.
