Clifford is stepping down

I respect Clifford for stepping up and coming back to be our HC after Kenny Atkinson left us high and dry, but it's been clear for a while now that his time as an NBA HC has passed.

Welcome to the Charlotte Hornets… where we won’t fire you, we’ll just reassign you. Clifford joins Kupchak on the made up title but still receiving a paycheck team.

Oh but we did fire Clifford…in 2018.  Then re-hired him in 2021.

I’ve said it before but you can’t get fired from Burger King and re-hired…but Charlotte pro franchises it’s no big deal (see also: Marty Hurney).  It’s wild this place.

It was a dumb move to re-hire him in the first place. They really expected him to take this team to the playoffs? Now if FO is saying that re-hiring Cliff as a placeholder until a great candidate comes along then sure I can get with that. But this team needs to tank to rebuild.

Nothing against Clifford he seems like a good guy and I appreciate his honesty.

This team desperately needs some new and real leadership though big time. Get a hard nosed coach/GM combo in here who are about basketball and who want players who are about basketball. Anyone not interested in winning basketball games and more interested in Instagram thots and flashy cars can take their services elsewhere. This fanbase wants a team worth cheering for.

What about Dawn Staley as a potential new coach? Tremendous college coach. Lots of energy and charisma. Probably a long shot, but I’m intrigued.

Would be interesting but Staley will never leave USC for the pro. She’s got too sweet of a deal there.

Fowler has a column for the Staley fans

Quote

Charlotte Hornets should hire South Carolina’s Dawn Staley as their next head coach

My favorite choice to become the Charlotte Hornets’ new head coach is directing a team in the Final Four this weekend. Her name is Dawn Staley. She lives 90 miles down the road in Columbia. She’s got deep Charlotte roots and she’s already won a couple of national titles as the head coach of the women’s basketball team at South Carolina.

I’ll tell you one thing, she wouldn’t take any BS from LaMelo, Bridges, etc…

A no nonsense coach is needed. I'd be fine with Staley as coach if she wants the job. Ball has too many issues for Charlotte including not playing games. In the article Fowler points out that Hayward played more than Ball the last two seasons.

I had to check this myself.

Gordon has played in 75 games the last 2 seasons compared to 58 for Ball.

Pretty fuging sobering.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
