With JVG Going, Who Do You Want to Come In?

I posted this in the JVG Retiring thread thread, here's my opinion:


I think Mario Elie would be the perfect head coach for the Rockets so long as they had a very experienced Xs & Os assistant coach (like Rudy T) and another assistant coach like Hakeem. This coaching team not only would bring excitement but would be able to instill the mindset needed to get back to championship level. Mario would have an awesome mentor that all players would respect in Rudy and Rudy would be able to get back to his passion without as much of the stress. Hakeem would bring the intensity and fire to this franchise and punish Yao during practice. This would be the ideal trio to get this franchise to the next level.

 

The assistant in Pheonix, don't know what his name is, but the Toronto Raptors GM loves the guy.....someone help me out here....

 

how about we bring back JVG's brother - Stan Van Gundy?

 

Ellie or Adelman

 

If he's healthy and willing bring back Mr. Rocket himself...Rudy T.

 

Vescey is a liar. Did ESPN have a different source?

 

MARIO

 

OK. Jon Barry on ABC just said it.

edit - my bad, I missed the sticky.

 

LARRY BROWN PLEASE!!!!! HIGH RISK, TOP REWARD!!!!

 

please no more larry brown type coachs..

 

Adelman or Ellie would make me

just what i was thinking.. elie i'll always root for, and adelman has a fun to watch offense.

 

Him or Carlisle.

 

Jon Barry said that JVG was thinking of doing this this past Summer because of not being involved in some team decisions. What is that about I thought JVG made all the decisions. The only one he did was the decision to sign VSpan, was VSpan the cause of JVG leaving?

 

Opps did not was signing VSpan

 

Let's go with Mario Elie and go from there. The guy will bring the passion and the willing to win for H-Town. JVG will not be coaching next year I can see him working either with TNT or ESPN/ABC. Good Luck JVG. As for Clyde and Bullard I hope if Elie is hired the Rockets should bring back Murphy.

 

Clearly the GM took a longer view of the situation than JVG, and that is 100% the right thing to do.

But the balding midget couldn't get with the bandwagon and decided that his little " I will show them" Attitude was more important than the team's long term success.

GOOD RIDDANCE JVD !

Hands down absolutely Del Harris. Lets get Nellieball going here at the Rockets!
