How about Frank Vogel? Has championship pedigree, still in his 40’s. Sounds like Ime is getting a year suspension and if he resigns, the Celtics save face and don’t have to pay him. Not sure there are better coaching options out there…

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

It’s going to be real hard to find a quality replacement for a single season.

There’s only one man I can see filling in that’s not currently one of our assistant coaches until Ime is allowed back:

Brad Stevens.

If we are serious about winning a championship it has to be Brad.

If we want to his a homerun go give Phil Jackson a call. Everyone else out there is out there for a reason.

Chris Mannix alluded to the possibility of Joe Mazzulla being promoted to HC and Frank Vogel coming in as an assistant.

Apparently Vogel has prior connection with Brad Stevens.

I am bummed that Ainge pinched Will Hardy, I think he’s going to be an amazing head coach.
5' 10" former point guard

Career highlight: 1973-74 championship, Boston Celtics

Career lowlight: traded for a washing machine

Vogel has already won a championship. He’s been there.

I’m fine with Vogel. He won a chip. Apparently Ime is a knucklehead, so cya.

Probably discussed in one of the other threads, but supposedly Mazzulla was the mastermind behind the Celtics' defense last year.

If that's true, I wouldn't mind him as the head coach.

Guys like Ime, Nick Nurse, Steve Kerr have showed you don't need NBA HC experience to be a good coach for a contender.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

If Ume resigns or get fired, then I see Celtics going after Vogel or someone else…but if he gets a one year suspension and accepts it, then Mazzulla will be interim
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Quin Snyder. Top 5 head coach in the NBA in my book. He's without a team since he left Utah in the offseason.

Mazzulla Is the next guy. Don’t give me the retreaded Frank Vogel. He’s not taking Boston anywhere.

Mazzulla is in house and the players love him.

I’d be fine with Snyder as well. His last year in Utah he went 49-33.

Mazzulla is in house and the players love him.

You don’t want a coach that won a championship just a few years ago, who has a winning percentage of nearly 60% over the last 3 season. I’d certainly feel more comfortable having someone like that on board vs giving the job to an assistant that has never coached a single game in the NBA.

They didn't want a coach that brought them to 3 ECF in 5 years, with a .618 winning percentage.
They may want the #2 guy that brought this team within 2 games of a chip.
