The Fire(d)!!! Mo Cheeks Thread 

Post#1 » by ElectricMayhem » Mon Jun 3, 2013 11:00 am

I don't care if you can't be fired until you're hired. There are tons of better candidates out there, unproven assistants, hell, hot dog vendors. I would've been happy with Hollins, Obradovic, Budenholzer, Shaw, McMillan, you name it...but Maurice Cheeks? MAURICE CHEEKS? I normally consider myself to be a rational longview type of guy, but if Mo Cheeks gets the job, that will be the final nail in Joe Dumars' coffin. Maybe not immediately, but within a year or 3.

FIRE MO CHEEKS!

Or at least snatch away his signing pen and snap it in half.

Well, My patience with wannabe lame head coaches was over during the Michael Curry era.

2 more years of this **** and once again another coach fired in 2 years and then guess what? Again no decent head coach will want to go to Detroit.

The guy haven't been hired yet and I got a cute signature for him already.

I like Mo Cheeks.

Go google an interview of his as a coach. His personality will be a breath of fresh air for the players after having the robot midget as their coach last season.

I think he's a good fit with our franchise center too.

My new favorite thread and one that I anticipate will get plenty of usage. Can't wait for the inevitable two year firing

If Joe isn't hand delivering a briefcase full of cash to Lionel Hollins right now, he needs to be fired.

LMAO on the title thread :-)

Seriously, I agree, would rather have Shaw. But we are not the only ones that will be going after him.

I'm confused why you want another guy with no head coaching experience. Curry and Q were brutal. This lockerroom is a bigger mess than nikki minaj's face. We need a guy who will come in and command respect while holding players accountable. I don't see that with Shaw. Sorry. I'm also not willing to have him prove me wrong either. Not worth the risk!

Agreed. I say we give him a try. But is it even confirmed that he's our coach?
