joe’s not coaching. period. i’d love to see it, but it’s not happening. and it probably wouldn’t be a good career move either, because when the team started losing (and BOY are they gonna lose), there will be nobody to throw under the bus.

It should be a priority to move on from those same players that caused problems last year, so I dont see that being a big factor. Once again, give me Frank.

Gores and Joe should open the coaching search and interview more candidates.

I personally believe that Joe should become the next Head Coach, since he is responsible for each member of the roster, either via drafting or free agency signing. Also, he is the only person who the players respect and have any repore with, as the coach whomever he may be will need to establish a relationship with the players.

Also, Joe has the basketball IQ to lead and direct a team, yes coach the team.

And, lastly, if Joe is interested in keeping his job as President of Basketball Operations, he better coach this team, because placing is fate into another person (Head Coach) he will surely be fired in 1-2 years.

If Pop can do it, so can Joe.

I disagree with Lowe on Woodson. He lost that Hawks locker room completely during the Magic series and it started during the Bucks series. With no roster changes of much significance this year and with a new coach who is merely average the Hawks performed much better in the post season despite still experiening the occasional lapse in effort in a game.

Personally, I never liked either of the 2 as candidates for the Head Coach spot but I’m starting to warm up to Frank. If he is able to make our team defensive minded again then he would be fine
