Leading candidate for Suns Head Coach Job

[corrado]

I was watching ESPN ticker while working out and I don't know who the source was but the ticker stated that Kurt Ramibs is the leading candidate for the Suns job and they were interviewing Jackson over the weekend.

I think Kurt could be successful here. Pretty sure the Lakers don't want to let him go..

I am not sure of Rambis history in regards to Shaq.

What makes Kurt Rambis so special? Was he even a good player? As a little kid, I just remember him as the dorky dude with the goggles who kept on falling down.

Kurt looked a bit dorky with those glasses however he was a classic overachiever. He was just one of those players who was always in the right place at the right time. I'm not on the Rambis bandwagon but he clearly helped the Lakers win some of those Championships.

I've been on the Rambis bandwagon since the beginning. I think he and Silas would make solid additions.

For me, if we hire Kurt Rambis or Marc Jackson, as long as they have virtually no CONTROL on trades (they can have input, but not control) than I'm fine with either. Jackson might be mad enough at the Knicks (even though he has a long and storied career with the Knicks) for back dooring him. He was the leading candidate for that job and even quit YES network to take the job, then the Knicks hire D'Antoni. With Rambis, he's got a long and storied career with the Lakers as well. I had the same concerns years ago for teams like Indy hiring Bird, and the Knicks hiring Isiah. And to no avail, both teams were ran into the ground.

Although, Byron Scott (and his Laker ties) has done a great job in N.O.

I hope it's not Rambis. The guy is a legend and deserves better.

I think Rambo could be a very good head coach. Hell he's been an assistant forever!

I am not sure of Rambis history in regards to Shaq.

Worst thing this team Needs is Rambis, I just read a couple Laker Books and Shaq voted to have Rambis go, Because he could not check Kobe and pissed alot of Vets off. He was a pushover, That would be bad for Amare, Nobody would listen to him. He did have the Lakers start 10-0, he was the Coach during the Rodman Laker Debacle, The start of the Kobe-Feud. But overall I heard he was a good coach.

 

[DeAnna]

I'm all for Rambis. Does Shaq have a say in this? Probably not.

Mark Jackson

 

[tobiazz]

Kurt is a former Sun and an understudy of Phil Jackson, which is a good thing, although some others like Jim Cleamons did not have success as head coaches. Mark Jackson was one of the best pure point guards ever and seems pretty cool, but he has no coaching experience and the Suns don't need a bottleneck like that.

 

[Rab]

Is Rambis really the guy to come in here and instantly gain respect of a team that has Shaq & Amare size egos? I don't think so. Not to mention Shaq and Rambis have a history.

Assistant, okay, but I'm not really a fan of Rambis the coach. I think he's a push-over.

The source is John Ireland from KCAL.

Gambo and Ashe are saying the Ramblis is not only NOT the leading candidate, he's NOT even scheduled to be interviewed.

Gambo and Ash just reported that Detroit Pistons assistant Terry Porter has been interviewed by the Suns and is the LEADING candidate at this time.

 

[elindholm]

I could live with Terry Porter. I always respected his game and intensity.

 

[TucsonDevil]

If Terry Porter is to be the coach, I am going to have to take a massive 180. I couldn't stand the Blazers and I couldn't stand Terry Porter. I call that type of 180, 'making an Ainge'.

Why not make a Kidd and make a massive 360?

WHAT? C'mon better than what? Dont make a statement like that without giving your reason.

 

[Ryanwb]

I hope Rambis wouldn't use the triangle, I don't feel we have the roster to run it effectively. Jackson always had a top shooting guard and built around him

Here's the story from the East Valley Tribune on Terry Porters interview yesterday.
