Lionel Hollins or George Karl please. I don't think either are amazing, but both are good coaches and provide experience and a respectable track record.

Rehire Larry Brown.
Coach K?
Richard Pitino
Kate Upton
Eric Cartman
ME???

Yep, I'm going to tell myself that.
What a debacle.

Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that the frontrunner for interim coach would likely be John Loyer, although no real indication has been given one way or the other as such. CBS has a tweet from Brandon Jennings which would make one think that the news did not get all the way around the locker room ahead of time either, so some folks were taken aback.
EDIT: Submitted without comment...

One has to wonder if Cheeks would still have his job had the pistons drafted Trey or MCW. In that case they could have traded Brandon Knight for a SG that's capable of averaging more than KCP's 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist per game.
...Yeah I'm thinking Dumars is more to blame for the Pistons' woes than Cheeks.

From what's been going around twitter, the problem was he never had the locker room. No one bought in, even before he coached his first game.
I guess that's what happens when you hire a coach who hasn't had a record over .500 since 2002.

Lionel Hollins would be a great hire. The Grizz played tough D under him and constantly overracheived.

Wow, what a sad state that franchise is in. It's high time for Joe to go. I'm not convinced Gores truly knows what he has gotten into.
February 9th, 2014 at 3:00 PM ^
Doesn't surprise me. Feels like Joe is on the hotseat as well. Cheeks hasn't been able to get this team to gel, and considering that was supposed to be his strong suit I'm not surprised he was on the outs.

Even when considering the roster logjams and positional mismatches and court spacing issues, I was expecting the talent on the roster to carry us to a 4 or 5 seed. If we're the ninth seed despite having a healthy squad, that falls squarely on the head coach.

Wow...I could have told you it was stupid to hire him in the first place. Lawrence Frank? Mo Cheeks? Why do you keep hiring these failed coaches that weren't that great to begin wtih.
