Tell you what, the second you can recommend a better candidate(and WHY??) to me, then I’ll start taking you seriously.

Not speaking for everyone, but above all else I just want someone who will be in for the LONG haul. Not just someone who will be out after couple years cuz I’m getting dead sick of this coaching carousel we been having.

Ok, so who do YOU think we should hire since you seem to know so much about who IS or ISNT qualified??

Give me a Dwyane Casey-Bill Laimbeer coaching combo and I’ll be ecstatic!

Hey guys getting a 13 game streak at the very beginning of your career and then blowing it up and losing more games than you win means you are still a PROVEN WINNER LOL

So you are solely basing this on a 13 game streak? lmao Listen He proceeded to fail horribly the next like I don;t know 6 seasons he was there. Also of the 4 straight Net appearances in the post-season they made it past the first round ONCE. THEN they got swept. Either that or they got swept every time in the first round. HE IS NO WHERE NEAR A PROVEN WINNER. Don’t get your hopes up and start convincing yourself he is one.

How many coaches have taken their teams from “worst to first” that resulted in a championship in one year? Well i don’t know the names of the others but i know the name of one; the Baddest Boy of them all Bill Laimbeer!!!

It’s never happened before in the history of ALL professional sports, nonetheless for a first year coach.. I can’t believe how many people dismiss it, just because it was the WNBA. The success came from Laimbeer’s ability to coach a team of talented players, bringin out the best of them with defensive minded play, and dominance from their YOUNG bigs. With Monroe, and the likeliness of drafting a young PF/C in this years draft, IMO there’s no better man for the job then Laimbeer.

No differently then the last “Coach Dreams” post about Tom Izzo, Laimbeer too would immediately bring hope back to the Pistons, just being his legendary status in the Palace. He would be a great move, he would demand respect – being he was successful with the Pistons, and would be able to gain experience as this team rebuilds. Most importantly, he’ll be a great coach to help better the young bigs we’ll have on the roster. At this point i really don’t care if people say he’ s not ready, i just think that now is the time to roll the dice on Laimbeer.

It’s worth noting, I don’t think Frank would be a bad option for the Pistons. I think he is a good coach for sure, I just happen the idea of bringing in a Pistons legend more. The idea that argument that “If he wasn’t a Piston legend, then the fans wouldn’t want him..” is moot, mainly because that’s one of the MAIN reasons i DO want Laimbeer. It’s a huge selling point, and I think it would be a huge boost to the moral of a franchise that has went from the top, to the bottom so quickly in recent years..

Just my 2 pennies..

I wasn’t trying to come off smart i was just trying to be sarcastic. I just think it is ridiculous to give a quote after every post you make.

Yes you are entitled to your opinion. I was just questioning the fact that you have to give a quote after all your posts. That will get old here very quickly!
