John Beilein: Continuing his education

Green Lantern said:

You said it more directly than i did. Too many of these guys want to quit well before it's time.I thought Drew did well when Lue was out with his illness and thought it would carry over.
It didn't.
And I'll keep saying it..only 3 of these players have won a ring..the rest haven't sniffed anything..yet they have this ego that they know whats better..if they truly did, they won't be at the bottom of the league.

Maybe,it's the young guys but let's not act like those three players,who won that title did Beilein any favors.

You have Tristan that had an issue with Sexton, last year but seem to embraced him this year. He seem more of the leader than Love. Anyways,while he has improved his offense he still put the ball on the ground for no reason.

Dellvadova is a good facilitator and leader but can't shoot a three to save his life.

And,our supposedly best player Kevin Love...He seem to disappear in certain games when two players on the team is crazy hot ,whether it be Sexton Garland, Cedi Porter. Don't let me start his treatment towards the young guys. I wouldn't be surprised, if they have some animosity towards Love. He walks around like he's Lebron or Kyrie when he's not.

Lol he REALLY wanted out

Sad times if Bickerstaff is hired as next HC with no interim tag.

It might be better than he doesn't have the interim tag. I think it's easier for him to right the ship and stay the course with developing the young guys if he doesn't have the interim tag. I think if he was an interim HC, the players might not respect him as much and that is the last thing this team needs at this time.

Walking away from 15-20 million dollars,,,wow.

Beilein was making 3.4 million a year at Michigan. He is likely going to command more wherever he lands. He walks away from a lot of money, but I don't think his career in coaching is over.

Another data point for “when is enough money enough money?” Apparently when you’re pushing 70 and already rich as shit you would rather not be miserable for $15-20m

If he walks and they don’t have to pay him, really not the worst experiment they’ve had.

Basically a blip- just need to right the ship. Again.

Was it ever confirmed that he got a raise with this job? I heard he was making 3M. I think he made more at Michigan

It

If this forum is super weird, then why do you keep posting here? Or are you saying that you're super weird as well?

And why is positivity or optimism super weird anyway? What kind of miserable life do you have to be leading to take a hobby (and that's all pro sports are) and constantly look at it as negatively/critically as possible? You do understand that optimistic people achieve way more in life and enjoy their lives more than pessimists, yes? (Incidentally: pessimists never call themselves "pessimists"; they always say they are "realists" or "objective" or "not drinking the Kool-Aid.")

BTW: you were wrong about the Dolans on the Tribe forum, and you're wrong about them here as well (though I'll save any further comments on that topic for the MLB forum, where it belongs).

Your group think on here is the extreme minority. Just today on 92.3 The Fan during Baskin and Phelp they suggested and I quote "they need to find a Steve Ballmer type" to own the team. Most of callers felt them same way. They are making a profit but treat the Indians like it's a normal Business. There's nothing to optimistic about when they let a top 5 player walk for some scrubs in AA that may or may not be good. Linor is a proven superstar in his prime and will be in his prime for 6-7 years and has earned his next contract, pay the damn man. It's not my problem those cheaps fuck have such a small payroll that Lindor would take 25% of it. They need to figure it, MLB or MLBPA needs to figure it with a cap/floor, or sell the team to someone with the purse to field and maintain a Major league team in current climate it's that simple. If you enjoy this cycle of developing Cy Young winners and MVP types so we can lose them in Free Agency to big market teams rather then pay/retain them then your probably the type that like get his balls stomped out by some chick in high heels on and then proudly posts it on Pornhub or something. Can you imagine if the Cavs took same approach with LBJ. Also tell me all the glowing thing besides the draft do the Cavs have to look forward to. We're on a thread about how the coach is quitting because his players hated practicing twice a day while making millions and our FO sucks with no end in sight and no plan going forward.

Bickerstaff is garbage. He’ll be off the interim tag the same way Larry Drew was. Expect a new coach next year.

One of the positives out of this. Wow!

I would normally agree with you but Colin has to know something is seriously off with this organization. Non of this is normal for a 2 year player to experience.
