I know what mediocre means. Like I said, it ain’t bad. It’s not good either, it’s middling. I am not pleased with mediocre. But ordinary/so-so is a big step up from Curry or Kuester. And if Frank is replaced, there is at least a reasonably strong likelihood that those two would represent the caliber of his replacement.

From Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary:
Mediocre – of moderate or low quality, value, ability, or performance : ordinary, so-so.
tarsier, in high price professional sports mediocre ain’t shit.

I’m fine with hanging on to Frank at least for now. Dumars is running the show and I don’t trust his judgement on coaches. Mediocre ain’t bad. If mediocre is replaced, who’s to say it’ll be an upgrade?

frank’s record argues that he is a mediocre coach.
based on what he did here in detroit, i’d say his record accurately reflects his ability as a head coach.
on a team with all star talent, he might take a team deep into the playoffs. on a team like detroit, with talent that is less than overwhelming, his extremely cautious approach to everything means a .500 finish…at best.
a more creative coach might try some unusual things that could take advantage of detroit’s weird roster. for example, it is amazing, considering his roster that he refuses to use a zone, even as a change of pace. i know he just used it this preseason and hopefully that will carry over to the this regular season. we will see…

To me Frank hasn’t helPed us establish an identity yet!
I don’t see him getting the most out of our players.
Good coaches make poor players perform better than they are.
He has talented players and they regress under him.
If we start 5-15 it just says he’s not a good coach & the only reason he ever had a descent record ever is because JKidd ran his offense for him in jersey for a sec.

Any coach that decides to start Maxiell should automatically be on the hot seat…just sayin
