This is a comical statement and it's incredibly aggravating. It offers zero insight and something you would see on twitter.
Someone who does a great job 1 day may not be the best option for another day. Whoever replaces Kerr is not going against Kerr's entire coaching history. 2015 Kerr wasn't putting these utterly moronic 3 and 4 guard lineups, respected centers and didn't have emotional attachments to particular players when he had zero semblance of common sense or logic applied when handling them. They're going against a guy that in the last year FIBA not only didn't win, didn't even place . A guy who can be argued that he was the worst coach in the entire league this season, finishing 10th with the highest wage bill in the league and Steph Curry on his team. If you think that's acceptable, at that point nobody can change your mind.
Kerr doing a bad job this season doesn't change that he's a top 15 coach all time. Just like it doesn't change Klay being mediocre to terrible the last 3 seasons doesn't change that overall he was an elite 2-way player and one of the best shooters of all time. It's honestly infuriating reading these arguments of anybody coming in and dealing with someone's history. They're not competing with that, they're competing with what they're doing now. Otherwise the Warriors should sign Larry Bird and MJ in the summer.
You post so much to add so little. Historic success should carry great weight. You seem to have reactionary recency bias like many here.
More qualified individuals than the ones who post here have given Kerr his status. How many have learned under fellow HOF Pop, Jackson and Lute.
Only 2 people in the history of basketball have more rings.
To show basketball knowledge or lack of people should put up names of candidates. I'm pretty sure it would be easier to tear them down.
