To Fire MDSr.? or Not to Fire MDSr? That is the Question.

by HVYDRT007 on Nov 18, 2009 11:02 AM PST

Here it is again and again, we here at Clips Nation are not the only ones talking about it.

Is it Time for MDSr. to finally go?

How is this season starting any different then the ones of the past?

We are Lucky enough to score the 1st. Overall Draft pick and he has been injured 3 times now and has yet to play an official NBA Regular season contest.

Our Best player and possiably the best Clipper to ever don our uniform in Eric Gordon is also injured.

MDSr. has his replacement Tim "Brick" Thomas in Rasual Butler (what does he see in this guy) a player that torched us in games but stinks when he plays for us.

Now Kareem Rush is out right when he was just staring to get it going for us.

I know these injury's are not MDSr. fault but he is Coach and GM so he takes Two Blame spots on the Higher Up to the Lower shelf blame meter.

I'm glad there is a fanpost dealing with the subject of firing Dunleavy

not sure if we’ve discussed it much this past week.

...and another meaningless poll to boot....

Also In That Article....

… is a nice slap at Elton Brand, which should make it enjoyable reading, no matter which side of the MDSr controversy you’re on.

I say give him until the First of the Year

If they are still struggling, get him off the sidelines.

This team has too much talent to look as feeble as it often does. A new coach is rarely a cure all, but it does help to wake everyone up and give the appearance that the team is commited to winning.

No matter if you blame the coaching or not...

…isn’t a change needed?

You'd think so

but there are those around here who disagree.

by madglove on Nov 18, 2009 12:11 PM PST up reply actions

come on...

You can only get rid of a coach, if he fails to meet expecatations. If your expectations are to high, it’s really your own fault.

And what about the youth movement?

And it’s really the players fault since coaches really don’t do anything to contribute to a win.

LOL - MDSr was coach of the year in 1928

Did they still use a Real Basket then?

relax, John R is hardly the only one who doesn't want Dun fired...see the poll above.

Who knew MDSr had 18 relatives on ClipsNation?

by Zer0 on Nov 18, 2009 8:04 PM PST up reply actions

Those are just 18 people he owes money to, so they're hoping he keeps

his job.

The best thing this franchise could do is totally get rid of Dunleavy, bring in a new

coach and GM and show the fans that the owner actually gives a shi*. Popovich was a college coach before his FIRST pro job in S.A. so you don’t necessarily have to go with a retread. Just make a move now for cying out loud. How long has it been with MDSR – and how long have we been complaining about him. Geez, I feel like a Lions fan complaining about Matt Millen for a dozen years – before the owner finally got a clue and did something.

7 years.

Time. To. Go.

Dunleavy...

will try to break Jerry Sloan’s record. He will be our coach for the next twenty years.

by MichaelCage on Nov 18, 2009 5:02 PM PST reply actions

It's time to go

every team faces injuries, fortunately for them they fight through it and don’t roll over the way the clipps do.

we need a new voice, it’s for Jon Lucas to run the show. I know we owe MDSR $10M, but the longer he stays coaching the more money they will lose at the gates.
