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.

Lots of different ways this could break, it will be interesting to see how the team reacts next season on the court.
Gentry at age Sixty is a question mark as well. Some folks run out of gas around that age and the energy level needed to be an effective NBA coach is huge. Just the regular season is a marathon.
I'm not particularly a Demps fan but we shall see how this breaks. With AD set to become (by many accounts) the best player in the NBA over the next ten years (barring injury), there's a lot at stake in this hire.

The retards on this board not liking this hire tells me all I need to know about this
Fantastic hire
For some reason you people thought JVG was Phil Jackson version 2.0 or some shite. Cause he's cute on TV I guess?
Despite the fact he underachieved in Houston and hasn't coached in a decade
I will never understand the boner yall had for JVG. Never.
