How do you justify to your season ticket holders(fanbase), you are keeping your coach?

How flush is the cocaine and sorority supply looking in New Orleans these days? Because I hear ya, and I want Quin Snyder on our sidelines going forward.

Guy built a 50 win team around one big man and just beat the Clippers without him. Give that man 2 all-star big men, a fresh supply, and let him do work!

I'm buying season tickets if two things happen: (1) fire gentry and (2) either let jrue walk or sign him for less than $20 million a year.

Don't expect either to happen

Unfortunately, NOLA's dominos drivers aren't that great, so he may struggle there.

I was halfway joking but I do think that we need to find a coach in that sort of mold if we ditch Gentry.

A hungry or well seasoned coach that is not system orientated, who has shown the ability to build around big men and maximize role players by building the team around your strengths, not trying to build the roster around your ideal system.

I like guys like Messina, and even am intrigued by undr-the-radar guys like Chris Fleming.

man I would go apeshit happy if quin Snyder was our coach next year
gentrys record is pretty damning
he's well thought of and obviously has friends in the league which is why he keeps getting opportunities

I'm kinda done with him

What did they cost? I cancelled mine two seasons ago and have no plans of renewing but for the right price, I think I'd contemplate it if they do fire Gentry and/or Demps this off-season.

during the month of March the team was 7-5 with Cousins, and the Pelicans had a 10-6 record overall

that was their first month with at least 10 wins since 2011. we literally had the best month in AD's career and you people are crying about Gentry. its unreal.

for the most part you're the same people that wanted monty fired. don't forget that.

I swear this Machine dude found a place that trades stock in coaches and went all in on Gentry.

I do think in hindsight many of us were wrong in how poorly we viewed what Monty squeezed out of the roster. However, I don't regret the firing of Monty. I regret the non firing of Demps at the same time and the non hiring of Thibs or JVG.

Agreed, getting rid of Monty wasn't the issue. Replacing him with Gentry was the issue.
