Bomani Jones just played race card on Steve Kerr hire

An ignorant statement to make and I doubt it's a big deal. Is Kerr overpaid? Yes he is but teams make dumb decisions all the time. Mike Brown has been fired three times in four years and there is an outcry. That's not being fired due to race that's being fired due to incompetence.

Yeah I just saw it too. Dan's facial expression after that was priceless.

Why are you so obsessed with the blacks? Every post about the blacks.

Black coaches always get jobs at downtrodden programs.

Flagged for watching ESPN talking head bullshit.

5 years for 25 million isn't outlandish compared to what most NBA coaches get paid.
You can argue whether or not Mark Jackson should have been fired. His performance on the court would suggest he shouldn't have been. His performance off the court is a bigger question mark.
Hard to argue the hiring of Steve Kerr though. He's one of the few "talking heads" that when he talks you tend to think "yep, he knows what he's talking about." If you're going to fire Mark Jackson, you better damn well hire someone the caliber of Steve Kerr to replace him.
Larry Drew got fired because he had a talented roster in Atlanta and basically kept them in neutral to going backwards (one first round win, two first round losses in three years).
Mike Brown is well established on the Mt. Rushmore of Shitty Ass Coaches.
Lionel Hollins should probably get another shot and the job he did in Memphis was solid. Who knows what the dynamic was between him and ownership. However, he did have a 4.5 year stint coaching them - which isn't a short stint for a coach.
I'm pretty sure that Mark Jackson will get another shot. That's not a question. -
He's the fourth highest paid coach in the NBA without ever coaching a game. What would constitute outlandish to you?Tequilla said:5 years for 25 million isn't outlandish compared to what most NBA coaches get paid.

And how many guys are in $4-$5M range?
You know that you're going to have to overpay to get a guy like Steve Kerr. So that is what it is.
This isn't a case where most guys are making 50% of that. And the ones that do, are normally coaching for small market teams where the expectation for winning isn't there. -

Casey and Stevens are very close to that threshold.
Spoelstra should be in that range shortly.

I was counting on you giving me a flag for that. I was flipping by and yea I should light myself on fire for watching Espn during a non sporting event.TierbsHsotBoobs said:Flagged for watching ESPN talking head bullshit.
