Kidd, easily IMO.

Besides being a bad coach, he beats women, clubs baby seals, and invented AIDS.

**** him.

What a god awful list, holy ****. Larry Drew was an unbelievably terrible coach & I never thought we could do worse than him. I was wrong.

Kidd has an MVP & is wasting him

I think Kidd is a horrible coach, but I think Larry Drew will always be the worst Bucks coach I will ever see. He was unbelievably bad.

Larry Drew was worse, at least Kidd had a season of overachieving. Drew was an absolute joke of a coach in every regard

I won't vote yet but I can't stop giggling at the fact that kidds win % is .001 better than freaking skiles. Bogut jennings and dead redd with some gooden and salmons. Vs mids some parker the rise of giannis. Skiles didn't have jack compared to kidd and the moves in that era (jackson) might have been worse.

All three of Drew, krystkowiak, and Kidd are the worst. But....Right now....seeing that tweet the other day showing how this team is performing no better than the big three of Jennings, Monta, and Ersan with Boylan, that is some crazy ****. This team is tragically performing under their abilities. So my vote is Kidd.

Drew and Coach K would have dreamed to have this roster even if it’s thin. Of course maybe it’s not even that thin. We just have a coach who played GP2 and Liggins for months rather than the far better player in Sterling.

Hell we get on DJ for sucking but we haven’t really even seen him play minutes with NBA caliber teammates. We just drafted this guy. Is he that bad to not deserve any minutes or is Kidd just dumb? Who the hell really knows tbh. Honestly Thon might be worse than DJ but we have no idea cause Thon gets minutes and kills the team like it’s going out of style but DJ doesn’t get any chances.

This is easily Larry K. Listen, I know none of these guys lit the world on fire, but he had Mo Williams and Michael Redd in their prime, Andrew Bogut, some not completely terrible role players, and we won 26 **** games. I mean that guy couldn't coach his way out of a damn paper bag.

And actually, he was the coach for Yi's chair :reporter:

I went Larry K b/c he was truly in over his head and the whole thing turned toxic.

Larry Drew was given a **** team and then got run. I think he could be doing what we're doing with Kidd. Drew did have some success in his stint at ATL.

Drew and K are really bad I went with drew because I think he was the worst coach but damn is that an ugly list. Better question is who would you most want outta them.

Is Giannis playing in the NBA right now if Larry Krystkowiak is his coach after Drew? Real question.

Redd and Mo rebelled against Larry K about a month into the season, thats why we barely won any games. But then it's probably fair to point the finger at a coach who can lose the team that fast.

Skiles was an arsehole but he could coach one end of the court so he's out of the running. Stotts only coached offense and just had the guys switch everything on defense so he's got Kidd covered on both sides of the ball. Couldn't even tell what Drew was trying to do so he gets on the podium with Kidd and Larry K I guess. Not sure on the order.

Last Bucks coach to work with this type of talent and a superstar talent was George Karl almost 2 decades ago. He had that team 1 game away from the finals. Overall, Kidd has this team as a bubble playoff team or at best a disappointment by preseason rank standards which I guess is about the same thing. Easily Kidd for me, a no brainer if you will.

I think Kidd has at least had his players in his corner for periods of time during his tenure. Larry Krystkowiak never did, so it's him.

If you're an NBA coach, and your players don't think you can hack it from the start, you're in WAY over your head, and I think that was the case with Krystkowiak.

Haha, what a year that was. As if Skiles intentionally trying to get himself fired wasn't bad enough, we then had to deal with the leftovers of the Boylan Swag era.

Was that the year Jennings pouted about not making the All-Star game when he was shooting <40% from the field?

It'll always be one of my basketball regrets that Hammond could never seal the deal on the Josh Smith trade to unite Monta, Larry, JSmoove and Baddy Chuck together.
