PASS

I would do that in a heartbeat if Byron is available. Dunleavy being GM and Scott being coach would make sense to me. Probably less pressure for Dunleavy.

And what’s the deal with “oh, he’s too Lakered up for me”? First off, Byron was drafted by the Clips and its not Byron’s fault he was traded to the Lakers and succeeded there. Second, look at the Angels BEFORE Scioscia and AFTER Scioscia. Third, who cares? Byron has proven to be a winner and we need a winner for a coach or leader. His credentials speak for itself, not its past allegiance.

With that said, I will only make this transition if it makes sense to the team. I mean, it makes sense to me, but not necessarily for the team. Changing coaches mid-season is a lot tougher. Its not really an issue for rebuilding teams with no talent, but I think Clips have enough talent to go to the playoffs. You have to change game plans, establish chemistry, trust, etc.

J-Kidd and CP3 are the reasons for ‘his’ success.

That ended with him getting sent to GSW for 10 cents on the dollar?

This doesn’t make a lick of sense.

you guys want to hear Dunleavy fired but when a respectable coach comes around for a possible replacement, you guys say “no thanks”. Who do you guys want instead? Bill Fitch? Alvin Gentry? Jim Todd? Bob Weiss? Tim Floyd? Rick Pitino? Larry Brown?

I’m not one to want Dunleavy fired. Despite all the losses, I think Dunleavy is a good fit for this team (can you name any Clipper coach who can withstand all the losses, continue to have faith in the team, and not quit?). All I’m saying is IF DUNLEAVY so chooses (or we choose) to have a new coach and have Dunleavy be full time GM, why not Byron?

I’m tired of Dunleavy using injuries as an excuse. If i’m Dunleavy the first thing i have this
group do is shoot free throws all day in the gym until everyone hits at least 75%. The
next thing i would stress is 4th quarter offensive. He is doing the same play over and
over and the defenses are adjusting. Mix it up and design some pick n roll plays or
more screen plays until you have an open shooter.
 O and by the way clipfanin SD you should not include Larry Brown on the list because
he was the most successfull coach the clippers have had. When was the last time
any of those other coaches take the clippers to the playoffs back to back. He did it
with less talent than Dunleavy has now. So no more excuses. Bring in Scott and mix
it up.

You guys want to fire him, then find someone who can replace him and see how easy it is. You think ANY coach you wish will come over to the Clips and all of a sudden turn this team around? Its so easy to put the blame on the coach when the last two games the Clips have played are so winnable games that it was more of a lack of execution of the players rather than the Coach coaching. If kaman didn’t make that bad pass, who’s to say he could’ve just shot the ball, perhaps get fouled, and get to the free-throw? Maybe this team needs some mental toughness, and if Dunleavy can’t deliver that, then who’s available out there who think they can (or even willing enough to coach them?)

I actually starting to admire Dunleavy for having this much patience….

I like byron but the coach we need is right there on our bench already, john lucas, he has the respect of the players and baron and i guarantee if we let him take over this team we gain new life. we need someone to put a fire under our team. To get humiliated at home against the hornets and then come out with no energy or effort against OKC, who by the way played awful as well, and lose on your home court is pathetic. we are 2-4 at home and we havent even played top notch competition yet. I mean dallas and phx r good but we didnt know how good they were when we faced them and we should won at least 1 of those games

…we got baron. at least baron seems motivated and past his beef with dunleavy this season. if we got byron scott, baron would spend the whole season out with another “bruised tailbone”

lucas would make the perfect head coach for us.

Look at his record. Look at the 4th quarters. Look at the lack of improvement in players.
The only good thing about Livingston’s awful injury is that the Clippers didn’t give him a 50 million plus deal when he still couldn’t score. One playoff year where his Daniel Ewing subsitution costs the tean their only chance ever for for a championship(Dallas would have beat them but they had a shot). Don Nelson sucks buts at least he finds gems like Morrow and Azubuke for free. The only Clippers with real future value are Kaman, Gordon and Griffin and the Dunce got lucky to get Griffin.
Who, outside of Kevin McHale and Isiah could be worse?

though then we will have to put Baron on suicide watch. Or watch Byron’s movements closely if Baron should mysteriously disappear, or gone to Europe or Tibet forever without informing anyone.
