Jordi Fernandez vs the Field ?

[johanliebert]

I hate how Darko always subs out the "hot hand" and gives the longest leash to those struggling. Makes zero sense.

Unless you're trying to develop kids and tank.

Keep Darko. He's doing what needs doing.

Darko is perfect for the tank and development.

But most importantly, Darko is a rookie head coach and thus far he's completely shown himself to be a rookie head coach making rookie head coach mistakes, which is fine. He can easily grow into the job and improve, or he could flounder. I'm hoping Darko will grow into the job as he's extremely likeable and a refreshing change from cantankerous curmudgeon Nick Nurse and his unprofessional tendency to start fist fights with assistant coaches and repulse Scottie.

Darko has coached for over a decade.

Darko has coached for over a decade.

Correct, but never as a head coach at the highest level.

While I hate seeing this thread so early in Darko's tenure, I made the case for Jordi when he was a candidate and felt vindicated by seeing how well Team Canada responded to him. I do think he was the right choice from the start.

I don't see Darko getting fired at this stage though unless the Front Office also gets cleared out and the changes being made are wholesale.

Just fire Darko and hire him before he gets hired elsewhere

He probably is the next assistant to get a job next season

If the goal is to develop players then Darko should stay. He’s got an excellent reputation in this area. As does Jama. I certainly wouldn’t want him coaching a game 7 anytime soon.

Jordi Fernandez could be a great NBA coach. But the reality is the guy has interviewed for a lot of other positions and was passed on for other candidates.
