Yep. I've been optimistic about this team's future, even through this extremely long skid this season, but hiring Skiles means Hennigan is no longer in control. Bad juju.

Scott Skiles wont stand a chance. Tobias Harris has from now till the All-star break to turn the entire locker room against him. He'll be dead on arrival!

Magic also have fired assistants Wes Unseld Jr., Brett Gunning and Zack Guthrie

:o


Woah! Did not expect that until a new coach was named. Wonder who will be helping Borrego out? This really tells me a new coach will probably be hired soon.

Do you follow the NBA or just the magic? Each fan base that had to endure his coaching tenure hates him. Players never speak fondly of him either. Being a hardass isn't a good thing if you can't control it. From what we've seen, he can't control his "fire".

I'm down with Skiles too. Our team is way to soft and lackadaisical.

Something to note: The head coach and a couple of assistants of the Bayhawks, our D-League affiliate, were assistants to Skiles in MIL. Definite connection there.

we've become so accustom to terrible that we're actually considering Skiles an upgrade at the HC position. Might as well draft up the PLS FIRE SKILES threads now because were going to need them within 3 seasons.

I'm willing to give Skiles a chance. Our guys could use some of that fire. I don't think Skiles will ever lead us to a title, but I think he will help get us through the growth stage of the rebuild, now that Jacque got us through the tank stage.

I don't give a rats ass what other fan bases think. What does that have anything to do with me following the NBA? Like him or not his teams have played pretty well. Maybe we need to take a look at the soft players instead of the coach if that's the case,.

interesting fact that I forgot: Magic interviewed Malone before hiring Vaughn 3 years ago, and passed over him.

In his last two stops he took decent young teams, and he brought them back to the postseason.
Works for me! :rockon:

Magic passed on Stan for Donovan then ended up having to get him last minute. Stan ended up becoming by far our best coach ever. So looks like the thing we should do next time is pass on the #1 guy and then hire the #2 guy lmao. Dont trust that first instinct Magic brass lol.
