Dave Joerger...rumors and speculation

[lwc]

I wonder if there was some type of conversation thru reps during the last month or so because it sure looks as though Vlade was going the slow deliberate route while this Memphis thing sorted itself out.

That explains the interviewing of Henry Bibby and Elston Turner. That would give more information to Vlade on Dave Joerger as well as whether or not Vlade would want them as assistant coaches here. Vlade is a genius

I bet this gets done before the weekend is up.

Even if this doesn't get done Messina is intriguing. We aren't scheduled to meet with him till sometime after the thunder series concludes.

Sounds like Joeger is ours for the taking, he asked for permission to speak to Kings.

as long as vlade doesn't intend on hoisting these asst on whoever we hire. Shouldn't whoever we hire bring in their preferred asst coaches?

Sacramento has been pushing hard for permission to speak to Dave Joerger and he's moved to top of Kings' list, sources tell@TheVertical.

Its raining coaches!

Maybe Vlade's interviewing everybody in the Western hemisphere was just a saavy stalling tactic while every other team did the stupid and started dumping their top young coaches.

ET was already Joerger's lead assistant in Memphis so it's not like Joerger hates the guy or anything.

 

[fansinceday1]

We have the potential to land a pretty dam good coach.
Please Kings FO, don't screw this up.....

 

[ElRey]

Conspiracy theory : maybe Joerger already has the Kings job and most of these coach interviews past weeks have been for assistants for Joeger ??!!

 

[Bricklayer]

this has turned out to be a great offseason to have a coaching search. So many successful coaches becoming available its like shooting fish in a barrel. Being the Kings that means we'll hire Henry Bibby and a half-trained baboon as his lead assistant, but certainly for a halfway competent organization it would be hard to miss.

 

[steelevt]

I'm cool with joerger. He knows how to use his bigs in gasol and Randolph. And it's a plus that he actually sought us out instead of us trying to sell sac. What I felt about Mitchell, I feel the exact opposite with joerger

Certainly a valid explanation cause some of the recent names being floated have been forehead slappers.

Not necessarily so conspiracy-like when it comes to Elston Turner, who has been Joerger's lead assistant in Memphis the past 3 years.

And Woj is reporting that we have been pushing to interview Joerger behind the scenes, and that he has been pushing them to let him come interview.

My natural thought is if he had them in Memphis, he'll more than likely want at least one of them here. It more of Vlade getting a feel for them as potential lead assistants, etc...

Or maybe vlade had ET in to get the low down on joerger since he didn't have permission yet

I say Elston, Joerger's lead assistant the last three years in Memphis, and Adelman's lead assistant before that, was a placeholder. When it was said he was interviewing for a lead assistant job "depending on who became the head coach", now I think we know who that was. I also say Corliss stays on as Cuz's coach/handler.

Why does Memphis get rid of good quality coaches? It's mind boggling!

Very true. Thats why so many memphis fans aren't very happy right now.

In some ways cheapskate owners are the worst because they will never change their ways.

 

[Hoovtrain]

I'm all for Joerger. Don't F this up

 

[Livinthedream]

Just from tweets I read, sounds like Joerger wanted no part of an organization that wasn't trying to win at all costs and take care of it's employees. It may seem like some whining, but it can also be he wasn't going to lay down for poor performance from his owner and GM. Kind of like Malone....

 

[jcwkings]

Joerger would be as good a move as possible.

 

[HndsmCelt]

There have been some great names kicked around in this coaching search but this is the first time I felt like one of them might actually be on their way to Sacramento for more than just an interview. I hope the Vladfather can get this done!

After the Kings have interviewed 30 ppl, I don't think Joerger asks for permission to interview if he wasn't going to get the job.

 

[kupman]

Joerger to Indy? Vogel to Memphis?

The more coaches that become available the more competition we have.

 

[hrdboild]

I've been reading up on Joerger. He's got a reputation for developing young players with 10 years of success in the D League, CBA, and IBA. Lionel Hollins asked him to take over the Grizzlies' defense in 2011 which coincides with their rise to dominance as a defensive squad. His players seem to like him and play hard for him. I'm on board if he's the choice.

He's also probably a better offensive coach than Vogel ( he was in the midsts of updating the Grizzlies offensive when his players subbornly refused to stop junk balling/everyone got hurt/his front office traded anyone not injured for crazy and or old people)

 

[macadocious]

Phase One: Hire Joeger

Phase Two: Sign Mike Conley

Phase Three: Profit

Sounds like a rich man's Malone.

Do it Vladfather!!
