RT @ESPNSteinLine: ESPN sources say the New Orleans Pelicans have chosen Alvin Gentry as their new head coach
Ugh its the Steele (LSU DC) hire all over again. I am not excited about it, but I am willing to give him a chance. If he can turn our offense into anything like Golden State it will be awesome. I hope he brings in a good coach to coach defense. It can't be any worse than monty.
Geaux Pelicans!

OMG the sky is falling...love the reactions on this board about things.
I mean really, some of these comments..
I am excited about the prospect of a wide open offense and AD turning into a better version of Amare when he was with the Suns.
"I'm extremely happy for Alvin and wish him the best of luck in this new challenge," Kerr said in a statement. "He's had a tremendous impact on the success of our team this season and, personally, has been instrumental in my development as a coach. His experience as a head coach in the NBA has been invaluable during my first season and will, likewise, serve the Pelicans well as they move forward."

the biggest difference in the steele hire is that LSU is a premier, super elite program. the pelicans are not (and i doubt they ever get there)
we have to temper expectations as a fanbase and be realistic given the issues with this team and the city it plays in. even if you don't, the criticism is irrational. JVG and Thibs have not proven to be title-winning coaches in much better opportunities (franchise, city, etc). there was not this golden option available to this franchise.
just because we didn't hire pops (and get dunan, ginobili, and parker with him) doesn't mean gentry isn't an improvement over monty.

Interesting comparison, came to my mind as well. But for the average fan, you want a "name" hire ... how much do you really know about the coach? During the LSU DC hiring process I kept hearing about Clancy Pendergast and I was convinced we had to have him ... but quite honestly, before the coaching search I had never heard of him. I know Gentry has had other head coaching stops... certainly he's done well at GS, albeit as an asst.
