Hornets Head Coaching search (2022)

Indeed, Maybe the grass is not alway greener. We all got taught a lesson w this one.

  1. Best case: Yeah Steve steps down and Kenny is announced as the coach (logical decision and nobody really looks bad).

  2. Push case: Kenny offered twice his salary and he says “f it” and stays (he, Steve and GS Front office looks bad)

  3. Worse case: Kenny sees the inner workings of the Hornet’s org and say “No freaking way” (entire Hornets org comes off looking like a terrible terrible joke)

The story that emerges is critical.

I am going w option number 2! Anybody remember this BS from Jordan:

Warriors owner ‘hurt’ by MJ’s comments

Warriors owner Joe Lacob recounts the story of how Michael Jordan told him that 73 wins don’t mean anything after Golden State failed to win the championship.

————————————————

I’ve read that he’s worked against MJ every since then.

It could be more organic than that. He’s working for a team that has spent luxury taxes without conscience and invested heavily in everything to get 4 championships in recent years. You compare that to the Hornets avoidance of the tax and anything he might have gleaned while starting to piece his staff together and he could have thought there will be a better situation. I think he hurt his brand a lot (in Charlotte) but not sure that’s how 29 other franchises will view it.

If the first mention of this was Woj because Woj, and not because Kenny is a skeeze, then that’s all sorts of gross about Woj himself. If however he hadn’t told Hornets Brad because he wanted to terminate this visa the media, then he’s a real piece of work.

“After further conversation”

More context please. After further conversation with who? Hornets? Warriors? God? Kerr? Tony Danza? MJ?

That’s the charlotte sports fandom experience I know! Charlotte, failed sports city.

Ya that’s a very poorly worded tweet. His next tweet not long after, gave a link to an ESPN article that said that Atkinson had informed the Hornets. A lot of folks got fired up though because someone tweeted that the Hornets only found out after Woj’s initial tweet. It seems to have all come out very fast.

Makes sense, thanks keetch.

Excuse me, let me be more positive.

Charlotte: a failed sports utopia. If you’re into failed sports franchises.

I’d be calling vogel

Oh you leave Tony Danza out of this. No calls for that kind of talk on here…

Is that Steve Clifford’s entrance music I’m hearing?

He would now be two coaches ago now so… :slight_smile:

What a damn mess man. Seeing Atkinson was the only three of the finalists to meet with MJ, I guess that means D’antoni or Stotts since they were the other two finalists?

I’d be fine with either one I guess but why us? I swear… unbelievable shit man.

I feel like D’Antoni is the type who wouldn’t want to be a second choice, so I doubt we’d get him… but it would be nice. But…… PAIN!

I was on team MDA but at his age and with his accomplishments, I don’t think he’d take being our sloppy seconds. However, I think Stotts would probably still be interested.

No matter who’s selected he will always be viewed as the “back—up” plan or the rebound date after Kenny. Who wants that?

I can see it now, “Mike D we rejected you but we want you now that we didn’t get the REAL guy we wanted”

Kenny fucked everyone over, but this is on MJ. Rumors say that Mitch wanted MDA, and MJ overruled him with Kenny after the one-on-one interviews. So, in my eyes, it is on MJ.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers here, except for the coward Kenny Atkinson.
