NYPost: Future Knicks Coaching Candidates

[thebuzzardman]

No good coach is coming here so don't get excited with your lists. Good executives and coaches stay FAR away from MSG. I mean, the Knicks were lucky JVG fell off from Riley's coaching tree, but after that, other than Larry Brown coming for a payday, the Knicks haven't had one good coach. Some have been bad, the rest just not moving the needle.

If, big if, Perry can rehab the organization's reputation (highly unlikely) then maybe they Knicks land a decent coach. Probably not. After they fire Jeff they'll hire another retread.

All things considered, Kidd might be the ideal candidate. He has experience, he was a HOF player, he'd get the most out of Ntilkina and he won't be a yes man to Perry, Mills and Dolan. Kidd should get an interview.

I mean I know Realgmers hate everybody, and find fault with everybody, but some of the reports from the Bucks' board have been outright scathing. They complain about the offense in particular, but I wonder if that's not at least in part due to personnel. I was a big fan of Kidd's as a player, and in a vacuum would like him, but again, the departure and everything that's been said after gives me pause.

Stuck with Jeff I need these W's on my resume Hornacek.

Reports, watching games/analysis, etc. It’s the truth. LeBron has been running over Lue for a while now. Blatt is an actual coach and would be great for a young team like ours. You disagree, that’s fine. IMO (based off watching games/analysis, reading a lot, reading Cavs fans opinions, etc, Lue really is nothing more than a “yes man,” unlike Blatt who actually coaches.

Blatt sat there, drew up plays and game plans, and when Lebron disagreed, erased his board and started again. At times Lebron didn't even have to say anything. He'd just look away or look at him the way I do when I want my son to stop acting out and don't want to spaz on him. Blatt was the epitome of a yes man, and I could easily see that reputation causing Star and superstar players to disrespect him off rip. I've watched all those games and read all those articles and spoken to all of those fans, especially since during that time I lived in Ohio, and it's clear to me that Lue managed to straddle that fence of better than Blatt. I don't want to hire a coach just for the young ones or just for veterans. I want a coach well versed in the league as it is today with the gravitas to handle all of the trappings, especially in a harsh NY market.

K. I find it interesting you saw this and also that Jackson isn’t that bad (lol), but to each his own. Enjoy your day.

Yeah I don't get the correlation. I just googled some of the reports from that time. Jackson never made some of these mistakes....

Jackson went from 23 (shortened season) to 47 to 51 wins during his time in Golden State. Yeah, I think he did some things right. I don't think he was as bad as many try to say. Do I want him as a coach here, probably not, but he wouldn't be the worst hire, and I'd definitely want him over Blatt lol... Yeah, to each their own...

Ok. Saying he'd be better than Blatt is where the conversation ends. Jackson is horrendous, this cannot be understated. Enjoy your day...I'm done here.

I wonder if his ego is too big to be an assistant coach? To have one of the best point guard to ever lace them up imo mentoring Frank and Emm.

his lineup choices seem to support your opinion.

[Jeffrey]

Sean Miller anyone? He's done with NCAA.

Anyone wants any of these corrupt coaches in NCAA level?

[BrOnXKing1]

Jackson would just be awful. He couldnt take Curry and Klay to the next level. Golden state fans were fed up with him before he got fired

Not Miller, but depends on who breaks free.

Also could effect Alphabets free agency. You do it for the reasons you said but you never know.

I'm not a fan of him either. He just had an annoying personality but I did think what you said is unfair. Those guys were babies when he coached them and were near contenders in the West. You're right that someone else had to take them to the next level but what he had accomplished up to that point was stellar and again, they were babies. You definitely give credit to Kerr but sometimes it's just that the players themselves mature and develop and id give more credit for thier development to Jackson. Kerr was the better finished product coach.

But Mark Jackson is an annoying **** tho

Would love to have JVG back. I doubt Dolan would do it given he resigned. Other than him, I am looking at eiher an international guy or some younger guy who is not a big name.
