***Official new head coach search thread*** (merged)

1280 The Zone is talking about this guy:

Ettore Messina

He currently coaches CSKA Moscow

Yes, some guy they were interviewing last week (Ian Thompson?) said that Messina was his top prediction for the Jazz and no one else was even close. Don't know anything about the guy, myself.

Karl Malone would be my dream coach, tbh.

Also wouldn't mind John Calipari.

He is the coach for Russian team cska. He was a assistant for Mike Brown when he was with the Lakers. I honestly don't know anything else about him.

If they hire him, I'm going to be pretty pleased with myself. Brought him up back in November. This is why they'd be interested. . .

Ettore Messina

Possibly the first ever European born head coach?

He worked for the Lakers for a little while, has had success at the international level and the Hawks flirted with the idea of hiring him for the head job last year. Greg Popovich thinks highly of him and expects that a team with "guts" will take a chance on an international coach. Seems like something that DL would be interested in doing. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Just about everyone suggested is a better option than Boylen. Really hate that suggestion. Hire a guy that's actually won something in his career.

I see Lindsey making a sexy choice, not Jim ****ing Boylan.

Was it the signing of John Lucas III as the back-up pg or was it carrying Biedrens all season long only to dump him in the last month that earned our trust?

Signing on a Tank Commander in a tank year? What an idiot.

I mean really, does it matter who the Jazz hire. 3/4 of this forums will immediately start threads demanding he be fired anyway..
