Im all for Phil Jackson, who has a man crush on D12 and the fact he hasn't signed an extension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

no_ma'am 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2009 of course he'll be here next year...and for those of you that don't think he will be, you're all masters of panic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliMagicFan 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2009 Certainly not this year. But if they lose this series to a team they should beat, he's opening himself up. If the team were to fall into a very, very bad patch next year (unlikely) or if they were to not make it to the ECF at minimum, he'd be gone. Last year and this year they can chalk up to learning how to play in the playoffs and not having Jameer. A similar exit next year, and no excuse (outside of not having Dwight) would be able to save him. That's just the facts of life in the NBA. Easier to change the coach than the players.

Natmayo 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2009 I believe he will be here for a good long time. I dont think this team will go into any funk in the coming years and I fully believe we will win a ring with him at the helm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he has the respect of his players. You can see in timeouts when he is instructing them, hardly any of the players are paying attention. I think last night was huge for him, if they would have lost 3 in a row and 2 out of 3 at home, it may have been it. But to go game 7 against the defending champs, either way that game goes he is probably ok. But this is the NBA and nothing would shock me. I don't think he is going anywhere, but this post made me wonder about something. What about the level of respect Stan has abroad? If our players don't respect him, maybe other players don't as well. That could have an impact, as far as attracting free agents to play here. We speculate about getting someone like Rasheed or McDyess...anyone think they may not want to play for VanGundy? Not claiming they would or wouldn't, but i think it is a fair question. I'm confident that Stan will still be her next year, but I think that you brought up an interesting point. Since the Magic are not going to be able to outbid other teams, players are going to have to want to come here. The plus of course is knowing that they will be playing with a contending team that features 3 all stars. I hope that will outweigh their not wanting to play for a coach who is constantly in a panic mode. Yeah I have said this numerous times before, that this team will have problems getting veteran players because they do not want to play for SVG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A BETTER DJ 12 Report post Posted May 15, 2009 Other than Chuck Daly SVG is the best coach we have ever had. IMO SVG is in the top 5... maybe even top 3 in the league. He'll be here for a while! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicManD12 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 People ask if SVG could be fired? I say see Rick Carlisle 2003....he took the Pistons to the ECF and was rewarded with being replaced by Larry Brown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

magicfreak#1 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2009 NO. Most who say SVG's job are at stake probably just started following the magic. But Fair weather Fans are always welcome in my book. I love it when the skys are blue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
