Exactly!!! We have a winner Johnny!!! Their records speak for themselves. I was against hiring Gentry from the beginning and I posted that and was bashed. Thibs had Rose out a lot but the guy still won. As for why is he not coaching, the guy can choose where he wants to go and remember Chicago is still paying him. New Orleans was never really serious about any other candidate other than Gentry.

I hear ya. It's a pretty valid point. Race definitely can play a role in hiring decisions whether people like to admit it or not.

I definitely can see a black GM looking to give a deserving black coach he feels has been passed over, an opportunity. But if we make that assumption we can't dismiss it with the other 25 or so white GMs that hired white coaches

I don't know how much that played a role with Demps though. He was really clear about wanting an offensive coach, and plenty people immediately started pointing to Gentry. That pretty much ruled out Thibs.

Luke Babbit- 25 minutes
Ish smith- 37 minutes
Cunningham- 31 minutes
Gee- 22 minutes
Toney Douglas - 17 minutes

Derp derp uncle al

I just never have understood the timing of the firing.

Also, why are injuries an excuse for Alvin but never could be for Monty?

There is no justification to keep Gentry around, he's clueless. Maybe give Demps the rest of the season, but it wouldn't hurt to send him packing either.

shite organization wasted a year of prime AD. Great job, Loomis.

Loomis needs to go. He's fricking up 2 organizations.

Dell needs to go. He got his guy. And his guy isn't playing 2 of the players he gave $50 million to this offseason.

All of this. I was very worried about Loomis' input when it was first announced. He's supposedly a cap guru, but I just don't see it. The Saints are always walking on thin ice salary wise.

Demps seems to have no clue how to marry a coach with talent. Asik was a Monty piece, so he gets Monty fired and hires a coach that Asik doesn't fit with while giving Asik a big deal. He gives Ajinça a big deal, yet his hand-picked coach can't make it work with him.

I was pissed when the team kept Dell around. People bashe'd Monty for struggling with years of shitty rosters, then he finally gets a decent (not good) roster halfway through the year and makes the playoffs. What's the result? People praise Dell for finally creating a decent (not good) roster.

Hopefully he gets fired next week.

The arena looked half-empty last night.

It's going to look completely empty when we get to 1-15, 2-20, etc.

Was a horrible hire to begin with. A fuking maypop retread with bad sidewalls.... :

It's like Gordon was in the doghouse or something. It was so strange.
