Maybe we just filtered a linkedin search for 'open to work' and 'basketball'


Doesn't explain Mark Jackson


Giannis is a religious dude if I can take anything away from post game prayer huddle. Seems Mark probably is as well. So maybe Horst added 'religious' to the search parameters and voila, you've got Mark.

Yeah I'd do it the exact same way. Interview everyone and ask them what they would've done differently.


My preference would have been hearing reports about landing Stevens, but in lieu of that, seems to make sense to get a bunch of people's opinions AS LONG as it doesn't cost you a good candidate. But I do think we are a pretty coveted coaching gig, so let's hope we come out with the right coach.

Yeah and all these coaches have warts. Some more than others.

I know it won't happen but if we hire Monty Williams or Brooks or somebody's assistant and especially Doc Rivers I will definitely take a full 1 year break from basketball.

If Doc Rivers manages to find another job in a playoff team with multiple all stars his agents definitely have dirt on multiple franchises. There is no other explanation.

All of you claiming if they hire a certain person(s) as coach you're done with the Bucks are lying. LYING. :lol:

It'll be nice to stop being the guy defending the coach to getting to join the chorus of calling for their head after every game

They could hire Alex Lasry as head coach and that wouldn't make me stop watching Bucks games. Anyone who says they'd "tune out" of watching the greatest player in franchise history in his prime is either a liar or a psychopath.

I will watch not matter what but you best believe I will complain loudly until my confidence in the team is restored and hold a grudge against for time lost & prime's squandered, non-basketball minds don't get the benefit of the doubt and the parade of names being interviewed has done NOTHING besides make me lose even more confidence in their abilities. 100% fire Horst and bring in Bob Myers, I'd feel better about him hiring an assistant and at least not seriously **** considering Mark Jackson.

I think I could honestly stomach anyone besides Doc Rivers. I’d even be willing to not hate Mark Jackson immediately. Rivers I’ll just never understand how he’s still living off a reputation he built so long ago coaching 4 HoFers and still only winning 1 title. Even at the world in the palms of his hands he still proved to be a rather inadequate coach. Add 15 more years and he’s the ultimate king of blowing a series lead in the post season. Can’t fathom for the life of me what pros even interviewing a bozo like Rivers can have other than what not to look for.. and in my defense I never said I’d stop watching, I just said I’d fund the billboard to try and get Horst fired! Lol. I’d never stop watching the Bucks, ever.

I'm flipped. I could kind of talk myself into Doc. At least he's generally won for years and seems well liked so he could probably hire a good staff. Now it would be super weird to fired bud for playoff failures only to hire a guy with a longer lists of them.

Jackson is the one I just couldn't even trick myself into being ok with.
