Who would want this job? 

No one that actually has other options.  This is by far the least attractive job that is available.  You are guaranteed to be fired if you take this job, because you will not be winning anytime soon.

A young coach that can grow with the team.  LOL!

Translate that to a coach that will help the team lose.

What is Bob Weiss up to nowadays?

[Sothron]

I didn't think I could be more pessimistic about where we are as a franchise after living through A$G or the JR Rider days. But here we are.

I'm angry with Bud for quitting on us but the fact is that Bud was a top five coach and has shown the ability to develop players. That last part is absolutely critical for our rebuild. You wonder why the Sixers didn't fire their coach through all those horrible seasons? Their old and current GM could see that he could coach and develop players. That should have been Bud.

Now we have to hope the next guy up is going to be that guy for us. I pray he is. I've never been more...to put it bluntly...terrified for this team and its future than I am right now typing this post. We don't really know what kind of owner we have in Ressler. We don't really know what kind of GM we have in Schlenk. We KNEW what kind of coach we had in Bud...and now he's gone.

Here's praying this somehow works itself out for the best. I've been a fan of this franchise since my dad took me as a toddler throughout my childhood to watch games live and to watch them at home. I've been a fan for over forty years now. I've done my time. I want to see the good days. I want to finally see a championship banner hanging in our arena.

Hopefully this is the start of that.

Fizdale

Any coach that is actually wanted by another team, you can cross that coach off the list.  Fizdale has options.  He will not consider the Hawks.  Why would he want to wreck his career by taking this job?

You seriously would rate the Charlotte and Orlando jobs ahead of Atlanta?! Two fellow non-playoff teams with bad cap situations and thus no hope of turning things around anytime soon?

Heck, even Phoenix is not clearly ahead of Atlanta UNLESS Sarver/McDonough actually follow through on their bold promise to hit the free agent market hard this summer. Otherwise, Phoenix just consists of a Shooter (Booker), an OK (Warren), a Bust (Len), and two Probably Nots (Chriss, Bender). 

Even New York is a questionable job right now, with a similarly bad cap situation, and with Porzingis likely to be out most or all of next year.

Only Milwaukee is a clearly better job, because of Giannis.

I'll take a team with significant draft capital, cap flexibility, and a virtually new arena in the works, to attract an enterprising young coach, over those first 3 dead end jobs.

The Hawks job is a guaranteed losing situation.  No credible coach is going to take this job.  

Draft capital doesn’t mean shit for these coaches.  All that represents are dumb young players that will not help them win.  

The Hawks pitch to coaches, if they are honest which we know Schlenk isn’t, is that they have no desire to win for the next 2-3 years and that said coach will have to be on board with that plan.  

Of course, Schlenk the liar will probably tell him some bullshit about how he’s not really tanking and wants to be competitive.

Take that for data! The guy knows how to give a rousing post game presser.

Then we just go coachless ... pretty simple

That would definitely insure the tanking strategy, because that guy can't coach himself out of a wet paper sack.

What good is cap when no significant free agents will sign with you?

Hmmm........Texas and his record seem to disagree.   But, I like him because he is a cheap/tough it out option.  Young and if he can't cut the mustard he at least can relate to the young team we are fielding.  If someone like Hammond would take the job I'm all for it. but I don't see legit Nba up and comers wanting this job.

Nah, even he could do better than this job.
