Premium Member Sothron Posted January 14, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Before someone angrily replies before reading this I am in NO WAY suggesting this to happen. However it is fairly common new ownership to want a new coach and a new GM once they take over from the previous regime. I think it is safe to say both DF and Bud have more than earned their spurs (heh heh see what I did there?) to stay on regardless of who ownership will change to. But that's me the fan talking. What do you guys think? I know it may seem crazy to think anyone would want to replace DF and Bud but if Billy King still has a job in the NBA as a GM then anything in life is possible.

buckeye242424 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Nah.... You answered your own question. It would be crazy to replace DF or Bud at how we're playing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted January 14, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 And this is my second biggest fear of new ownership... but as been said, they'd be crazy to replace Ferry and Bud after what has been accomplished. Any basketball savvy owner will know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtmcgirt Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The new owner will want SOMETHING, the question is what. I think the faster the sale goes down the better. The new owner gets all the pub at the end of the season with no real input. A win win. If it happens after the season, there will be firings. Koonin, Ferry and Bud need to stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 If the Hawks were just doing ok, probably so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The new owners will want money. Winning is money. Who will win more? I don't even mean of the available guys. I mean of anyone in the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Franchise suicide. They would have to at least let Bud fail. Edited January 14, 2015 by JayBirdHawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member turnermx Posted January 14, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 They would have no business acumen if they got rid of Ferry and Bud. Don't think there is any question that they added more value to this franchise in 2 years than any coach+GM in its history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I hope it's Grant Hill. That way we know Danny will be back, Bud will be here for life and they care about Basketball. Koonin will be back as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Bud is probably the hottest coach in the nba right now. If the new owners want a new coach then they don't know anything about the nba and shouldn't be our owners in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I can just hear the new owner. "I'll be the GM of the Hawks and my brother in law, who has already attended two Hawk games since I became owner, will be the new head coach. That's all he knows about basketball but that's enough for me." "I have always been a huge Celtic fan and I know that they are really short handed right now so I'll be sending them Horford and Teague for one, future fully protected, first round pick and their 2nd round picks in 2016 & 2017." "If we don't pick up in attendance at once, I'll be forced to sell Korver and Millsap in order to cover expenses. I'm so excited to be a new NBA owner." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLHawks3 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 If Grant Hill and his group buy this team, Bud will stay where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddielives Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 They don't unless they want a new fanbase. It would immediately delegitimize anything they did going forward to screw up what is going on right now because of ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 They don't unless they want a new NO fanbase.

Moderators AHF Posted January 15, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 If they want a new coach it is the best possible sign we are in for a run of epic, moronic meddling from the new ownership group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin capstone21 Posted January 15, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I can't see them keeping Ferry. Too much controversy ... I hope he is able to come back but I don't see it happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Wretch Posted January 15, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Bud is safe. Unless we were teetering on the edge of the playoffs, there'd be no reason to fire the coach. The guy is part of the team and the team is damn near the best club in the league. Hard call about Danny Ferry. He's the architect of this thing. How successful we are in the playoffs might play a big part in this. Then again, I can't imagine our guys popping champagne and donning EC/Finals hats while Ferry sits at home. One thing is for sure...this is typical Hawks shit. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
