The Push For George Karl [Merged]

I can't imagine it ever getting this far but I'm reading some believe Orlando is waiting to see if things boil over in Chicago and Thibs becomes available after the season...

Karl would be my #1 choice of currently available coaches but if Thibs is out there... move aside George!

I do not believe it for a minute they think Thibs would come here. They have to be real. Karl is the most well-known and successful coach they'll get now or this summer. It's up to them if they think he'll be enough of a company man for the organization to handle. Remember, Stan was too much for them.

The fact that he's actin so thirsty on Twitter makes me think it's not a real possibilty. Like if he was in talks for it would he really be tweeting?

He just said on the radio nobody from Orlando has called. Of course, that doesn't mean they won't call soon. He just put out the most obvious tweets today after all and until a couple hours ago (Kings tweets) we didn't really have much competition for him.

I've never seen a coaching candidate react through twitter about wanting a job so badly before. It's a strange new world

I'm not mad at him. He's no spring chicken... he ain't got time to wait for someone to ask. Old people are usually pretty blunt lol

I think it's above Hennigan. Martins is probably running the show. He'll probably hire some ex-player for PR reasons and it'll turn out like Brian Hill's second run.

My official statement: If we end up hiring somebody besides Karl or Malone, I'm going to go ballistic.

I'm with you on this

Let's hope they don't hire Skiles just because he played for the Magic. Would be a stupid decision.

As I stated two weeks ago Hennigan does not have outright control at all here. I was told this by a prominent client of mine. Martina and the family are still running the show largely

Even casual fans know who George Karl is. He would be a splash hire in my book.

Scott Anez referred to the tweets as classless which honestly just pissed me off. For him to call anyone classless is the funniest **** ever.

just confirms rtards are running our organisation

A hungry George Karl is a YES PLEASE for me.

No one in here has a deeper connect in the magic org.? I want to know if they at least considered karl and for what reasons did they pass on him (if not hired of course)
