Monty Williams to Interview for Timberwolves Head Coach?

Don’t go Monty!

Sure!

to think someone would turn down the opportunity to be a head coach.

lol, poor Minnesota. They’re going to get screwed again.

Dont go Monty we gotta keep the core of our team not only players but coaching staff as well

let´s win a title first guys!

You’ve earned it, and all as a Blazer fan I would still support him leaving for a head coaching stint! But be ready to get your but whooped by the Blazers for a decade or so!!!

i had the chance to hear Mont speak at a conference a few weeks back. that is one impressive guy. captivates a room. passed around his Championship ring from the Spurs. might not get this job but one is definately coming soon…

Id rather see him go somewhere he could succeed w/in a couple years. For his sake he should ride it out with the blazers for a few rings and then go when his stock is @ an absolute high!!

Timberwolves it was Dwane Casey, which ended in failure. So, if Monty Williams is brought in by David Kahn, I don’t expect that either one will be long for the business.

In all fairness, Williams can’t do nothing with a frontline that has the defensively inept, offensively inefficient Al Jefferson as its anchor. The supporting cast is a piss-poor collection of players, too, especially if Ricky Rubio is smart enough to either get himself traded elsewhere or stay in Europe for the next couple of seasons.

Timberwolves are setting you for failure. Love and Jefferson frontline. Rubio and Flynn backcourt. It’s a hit job.

you talk to them. Sometimes the opportunity and fit can surprise you. I had a company interested in me and I did the interviews just a means of networking, expanding my horizons, and also it’s great practice. In my case I found it to be a nice fit and turned down another offer for about a 1/3 more and left my current job… which then went out of business.

My point is that Monty should go and talk REGARDLESS of what he thinks because it’s good practice and you never know… you could change your mind like i did.

I do not want to see him go. I admit i do feel a little frustrated that people are looking at so many opportunities before the team has DONE anything (no championship, it doesn’t count). Still, it’s his right and he owes it to himself to check out opportunities that present themselves.

I played my first round in Minnesota one year in early June and the water soaked up to my ankles on the fairway. 135 inches of snow on the ground until late May will do that.

More importantly, it is a dead-end job. It is years of losses and frustration as Ricky and Jonny form the most disfunctional backcourt of the league (and I like both players separately). No veterans. No leadership except from Jonny and he is the lesser of the PG’s and still a rookie.

Monty is better than this but it does not hurt to turn them down and get his name out there.

The poll are split 33% for each category. with Brrr and No taking 17s votes versus Yes at 171 votes.

The only people who turn down NBA head coaching positions are coaches with long track records in the NBA who can pick and choose their jobs. If an assistent coach is offerd the head job somewhere else, he would be foolish to turn it down, even if he knows going in that he will have a tough time winning with his new team.

Whether this is it or not. Wish him all the best whatever happens.

If you stay we will be ecstatic. Think it over and make your decision – how can it be a bad decision? Both alternatives seem pretty attractive. – Elgin

you have to expect to start your NBA career with a losing team. Winning teams whose coaches leave generally don’t want to hire a rookie coach unless it is one of their own assistants. I like Monty, I want him to stay, but I know we would survive without him, and I certainly want him to get his chance at a head coaching position. If he takes it I hope it is because it is a good fit, not just because it is offered. (And maybe they’ll find the perfect fit in one of the other ’multiple candidates.")
