Your new Head Coach: Mo Cheeks

[dVs33]

Since Roy Rogers just went to the Suns, anybody interested in Patrick Ewing??.

he went to the bobcats as an assistant

[dVs33]

losing roy rogers is a big loss IMO.

And the nightmare just get worse. As if hire a complete pathetic laughable head coach wasn't enough we just lost Roy Rogers. I am speechless.

I think its possible the coaching staff will be a lot worse than last season, a lot of people overestimate the head coach.
Rogers was good for our bigman, Hill pretty solid.
But as long as we have our new cheeky headcoach who is know for developing guards everything is great! Too bad our best players are two bigs.

They're abandoning ship while they can still find work elsewhere!

Maybe Rogers leaving opens the door for a Rasheed Wallace hire? Is that a pipe dream? Yeah, probably.

If Kidd can find a head coaching job one week after retirement why can't Rasheed get hired as our big man coach...Gotta dream big right...

i wonder if laimbeer is being considered

[Kilo]

Has Sheed ever said he wanted to coach? Didn't Sheed buck Cheeks' coaching in Portland?

[c-dot]

I can't see Sheed in a suit holding a clipboard on the sidelines...

[vege]

I can only imagine how many Techs Sheed would get as a coach...

[chrbal]

Bob Knight would walk up to him, just to tell him to calm down.

[ajaX82]

Yikes...hopefully Mo has the pull to snag some decent assistants or we in for a disaster

Yes, then quickly followed by laughter.

[ElectricMayhem]

YES!!!!! WE GOT HIM!!!!!
My Fire Mo Cheeks thread was just tactic to make other teams think we didn't want him....That perhaps he wasn't, in fact, the greatest basketball coach on this side of the galaxy.

Alright, so maybe we hired him because he was one of only two coaches willing to sign with us, but there's nothing left but to be hopeful that he we do good things with our team. He was coach of the overachieving 76ers team that we knocked out of the playoffs back when we were good, right? I remember being impressed with him at that point in time. While I would've rather have gotten one of a multitude of other coaches (including McMillan), I don't think he is without merit and will give him every chance to succeed.

On top of that, we finally got a coach that's mentioned in a G. Love and Special Sauce song. That's gotta count for something, right?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8tq9Va6U68#t=1m09s
