    clearly a hometown fav for obvious reasons but Sam I Am has been trying to get a HC job for quite a long time. something is just off. maybe his true calling card isn't to be a HC.

    People on Clutchfans have been calling for Sam Cassell or Mario Elie to get an HC gig with us for a long time. I don't get it. If those guys were wanted, they would of been HC's a long time ago. If Kenny Smith didn't talk bad about us on national TV, he would be on the Clutchfans coaches wanted list. Can't blame them about having nostalgia of our championship years.

    Yeah, I love those two for the rings and wouldn't mind them being on the team in some capacity (actually would love it, probably), but not as head coach. Not until they've shown there are other teams knocking on their doors, anyway.

    I don’t want any first time coach. I want a head coach with experience and pedigree

    Luv me some Sam I am!
    i'd love to bring him home as an asst!
    Idk about his abilities as a HC - and i mean that - idk.
    I'd hope for a HC a bit higher up the food chain...
    we already dealt with the rookie Silas...

    I agree, they probably should’ve hired Sam before they went with Silas.

    Rockets interviewed the long-time assistant Stephen Silas in 2016, then got catfished and hired him in 2020

    When’s the Ime interview?

    Well here it is. I think the we need one more interim coach before Sam. The development is still first and foremost. We aren’t winning with this core or lack there of. One more person needs a turn (2 years or so) then bring in Sam.

    The 99ers or Clutchfans wouldn’t exist without Sam Cassell, Vernon , Kenny, Dream , OT
    Rudy

    This is destiny

    Rockets should know they need a defense first coach and that's Ime. I have a feeling we're going to interview the whole world.
