Bobcats Interested In Jerry Sloan?

We’re hearing that the Bobcats may take a look at Jerry Sloan to replace Paul Silas.

The former Utah Jazz coach would be a tremendous, out-of-the-box choice and the first indication that Jordan is committed to turning his seven-win team around.

The obvious connection between Jordan and Sloan is that they both have their numbers hanging from the rafters in Chicago’s United Center. Beyond that, Jordan has great admiration for the coach he twice defeated in the Finals, at the end of his second three-peat.

Sloan might be tempted to return to the sidelines, if the situation and money are right. But what about taking over a team low on talent and embarking on a long rebuilding campaign, while working for an owner who doesn’t have deep pockets, doesn’t like to spend money on players and has been looking to sell half the team for close to a year?

Sloan is a GREAT, HOF head coach. But I can't help but think this team needs a young mind behind it. I don't know. If Sloan creates a really good coaching staff including a younger successor, this could work.

Sloan WAS a GREAT, HOF head coach TEN YEARS AGO.

that's what the Bobcats have...or should I say had now. How did that work out?

What's the saying? when you have two coaches you don't have one?

Sloan is still a HOF coach right? I think we all know his greatest work is behind him, that was to be implied.

And to answer your question no. I don't think we have a young mind behind the team, unless you are talking about Cho. I'm talking about a coach. There are good up & comers that would make good options.

Anyone whos white.

Other than Ewing, wouldnt mind him.

And people call KT a racist. There is a difference between joking and being blatantly racists and with me being a black person, I did not take this as a joke.

Why not a black person?

race doesnt matter, just give me the best coach/players...... i felt when bob johnson was here the team overly persued the pushing of black coaching and front office personel. all the marketing was def targeting blacks. since jordan has been here its just a UNC alum which is horrible, i just want the best people for the job. how hard is that?

He was being sarcastic & poking at KT, who is racist & brings up the color of a man's skin in every thread.

SNO is a white racist. The mods had to delete one of his racist threads earlier this week. The old let me dump on a black person to build white solidarity tactic backfired.

Nightcrawler most people want the best candidate for the job. But some of the white males in our community feel entitled that all their heroes to be white males. So if our black owner hires a black coach, it rubs them the wrong way. They hate multi culturalism, and hate seeing blacks in positions of authority (ex: me running this board, Bob running the Cat, Cam QBing our team) . You will never hear or see one of these folks complaining JR has hired too many white people or Wells Fargo has too many whites running the show. They want blacks tied to labor ONLY (athletes, working for whites) and not CAPITAL and OWNERSHIP

. Its very much a new south white male mentality Im describing. And its always PROACTIVE, not REACTIVE. They always throw the first rock, much like they did in this thread.

As for Sloan he'd be a great hire and would bring a toughness and work ethic to our team. Age would be the only factor.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
