Should have went with Shaw or even Karl. Larry Brown would have been a good fit in all likelihood.

The way that this team looks, all of those games are losses.
We can't even beat the bobcats.

Karl would be solid here, we would certainly be in the playoffs at the very least.

I actually agree with this.
The part that infuriates me about Kidd is that we all know that he's way smarter than what he's showing right now.
Unless seeing the floor as a PG is completely different from coaching, I just don't see how he could go from having one of the highest BBIQs during his playing days to an airhead coach.
I still believe he knows the game and knows how it should be played.
The problem is that he's deferring to assistant coaches who have never really had success as head coaches.
I don't care if he's inexperienced. If he sees something wrong, he should go in and fix it if he sees something. It seems like he's either just waiting til he 'pays his dues' in order to assert himself or he really has just lost any sense of understanding of how to lead during the game.
It's so embarrassing to see him on the sideline not doing a single thing.
If that was going to be his position this year, he should've been hired as an assistant coach and sat for a few years while learning under a real coach. But since he's been hired to be the head coach, he should act like a head coach.

Karl would be extra funny coaching Nets. After long years of preaching "no superstar basketball" to coaching team with five?
But he would help Nets winning games, that's sure.
honestly tho, he should have been an assistant head coach first and not directly jump to head coach job
