Karl, Malone, Skiles is my order. I like Karl because 1) track record (1100+ wins) 2) a good balance between macro and micro managing 3) a system that would work with our young guys (focusing on running, assisting and taking good shots)
Skiles would certainly instill a defensive effort, but I worry he's too old school for our under 22 crowd and will run them off to greener pastures.
I get what you're saying but if that's the case then we need to evaluate our players toughness. This is why you wont see guys like Kobe, Jordan, or Miller in this generation because they're all softies.
It's not that they are soft per say, it's that they are used to getting their way. That's what you get with pampered millionaires. If you have a Karl come in and say "'I've got 1100 wins, do this and you'll be successful" it lends itself better than "I've taken a couple teams to the playoffs before getting run out of 3 different teams, do what I say!" That being said, Karl may have no interest in the job, so it's a moot point.

interesting that they mention Malone then, because he isnt exactly a proven head coach and has been a head coach for less than 2 years.

That's true and I agree. I had Karl at the top of my list. I'm just giving people **** for being so whiny about hiring a fiery coach. Hey, we all wanted a guy that's going to go after refs and defend our guys instead of emotionless looks of confusion. You might have it.

Eagerly waiting for harkless to chime in....
Just proved you wrong that was easy. read the rest.November 28, 2003, and inherited a 4-12 team. Following that season, he went on to guide the team to three consecutive seasons of better than 40 wins (45.7 average) and three postseason appearances, which followed a six-year playoff drought for Chicago. The Bulls won 49 games in 2006-07, their most since they went 62-20 in ’97-98, and swept the defending NBA champion Miami Heat 4-0 in the first round of the 2007 NBA playoffs.
