Couple of reasons that won't happen:
Vlade has signed a sweet deal with the Lakers, enabling him to draw a nice paycheck AND split his time between his beloved home country and here.
If they do fire Adelman, they're going to bring in someone - IMHO - who clearly has focus in areas Adelman doesn't. Since most perceive RA's biggest weakness to be defense, I strongly suspect the next coach would be one who focuses MORE on defense than anything else and that simply isn't Vlade.
Personally, I don't see Vlade as a coach...ever. He's just too nice.

Well then, I'm sorry for misunderstanding but I'm totally confused.
You mention him but then:
Well, since Rick Adelman is currently the coach and you're mentioning a different coach, wouldn't that pretty much mean he would BY DEFINITION be in place of Rick?
And, if he's not going to make things better, why would we jettison Adelman for him?

Mike Woodson? no way this guy is not a NBA coach the only reason he's the Hawks coach was to develop the Youth in that team he failed doing so, I dont think the Hawks care about there NBA record they just want there young players developing
Mike Woodson would only be a good coach for a team like the Bobcats or the Raptors..
Kings need a defensive coach and a coach who wants to bring sucess to the team Mike Woodson would not.

And...?
If he can't get the job done in Atlanta, for Pete's sake, why exactly would we want to put the "heavy youth of the team" in his hands here?
Come on. If you're going to toss out a name to discuss as a replacement for Rick Adelman, I really think you need to make some kind of rationalization.
I didn't agree about Jackson, but it was at least understandable. Carlisle and Brown were also mentioned, and I could at least understand their names being brought up before their latest moves. To bring up Woodson, however, is like bringing up Garry St. Jean (which I did a few posts previously).
I guess my main complaint is that some Kings fans seem to want to bring in EVERY single fired or non-signed guy around. Some of them are sitting home without contracts OR about to be fired for a reason. Yes, there is the occasional Bonzi Wells but there are also a lot more who are fired/unemployed for a pretty good reason.

I stated why I posted about him, I was curious about him/what people think. Like the O'Brien post. That's all. 
Again, I didn't comment on him making things better or not.

And I just stated the "heavy youth" thing as a possibility there in Atlanta. Not in relation to the Kings.
I agree about Silas.

What is everyone's opinion about whether or not Adleman makes it the entire season?
My vote is he lasts this season but will not be back next year. That being said, I am often wrong about thinkgs like this.
**side note- I think that our team will improve more with player changes than a coaching change.

There is a few factors ... the only way RA stays the whole year is if he manages to turn this team around.
and B... if he could make the bench work which it still hasn't..
It's easy to fire him now that way they can be with there new coach for a half a season and get ready mentally and psysically next year.

A new coach doesn't necessarily mean a new direction, especially when your problem goes MUCH DEEPER than the coaching staff.
I'm sure the Adelman era is coming to an end, but I'm not going to celebrate. Rick Adelman put this franchise on the map and got them further than any other coach had ever dreamed.
If you want a change, then look to the players first. No matter what coach you bring in, we are still going to have glaring weaknesses on our bench and deficiencies in our starting five that changing the name on the coach's door won't correct.
Yes, Adelman will be gone sooner or later... And the change could go either way. New coach, new direction could very easily mean out of the playoffs completely for the first time since 1999 and I'm certainly not looking forward to it.
