Go GET Hornacek

Punch Bowl Re-Filler
It's official. Dead man walking no more. Hornacek finally ran out of appeals and the governor didn't call on the phone to stay his execution. So Jeff has mercifully been put out of his misery. Actually don't blame him, He coached his *** off the first year and then the idiot GM decided to screw up a great PG duo and then sign the Morris brothers with the promise they'd play together only to turn around and make a trade after the ink was barely dry (no, I didn't make that up, GVC. The promise was actually made according to Markief). And he was/is very PISSED!

Bring Hornacek back to Utah as a shooting consultant. Probably won't happen, though. He likely gets an immediate chance to be a HC somewhere else next season.


Edit: yes. I did exaggerate a bit, The ink was completely dry when they traded Marcus,

Hornacek fired

The Phoenix Suns fired coach Jeff Hornacek, league sources tell The Vertical.


If I recall correctly, Hayward and Wes Matthews credit Hornacek for improving their shooting. Wonder if he or the Jazz would be interested in him coming back in some sort of associate head coach position like D'Antoni in Philadelphia. He looked like such a promising head coach just a couple years ago when the Suns won 48 games out of nowhere. Maybe Minnesota or Brooklyn will offer him a head coaching gig.

No interest. Don't want anyone from the Sloan/Corbin era. That time has passed. And quite frankly, when he was here, I'm not sure he helped our shooters in some noticeable way.

I'd happily bring him back. He's known to the players and has a history with the team. I doubt that he's going to get another head coaching offer for awhile until he rehabs his image, so it wouldn't hurt to add some help for the team's shooting.

Unless the team intends to make a run at Chip Engelland, I think they should probably consider bringing Jeff back for a short stay.
 
I'd take him as a shooting coach, but betting he catches on an assistant on some other team after this season.
 
Love to have him as an assistant, not getting my hope up since he's gonna be a HC somewhere else if he wants to.
 
I don't think he'd make a difference one way or another.
 
Team is biggest shock in the NBA and Horny is almost HCOY. Then team makes bad moves and has big injuries, goes on a terrible run but Devin Booker becomes star in making and coach gets fired. I don't get it.
