I'm just saying, Stevens has been regarded as a great coach throughout his career even though they were in complete rebuild from the moment he got there and molded it with his ideas in mind. Fred got to Chicago, and the front office rather than tanking or throwing money to get solid paces that fit their system, they threw crazy amounts of money at guys who are the exact opposite of what Hoiberg has had success with. And even with that he still is over .500. Now, not saying he has killed the NBA coaching game, but I really don't think it is fair to blame Fred for those last 2 teams. Now, if he can't show any strides from the beginning of this year to the end people have a right to start getting antsy, but this is essentially the situation in which Stevens came into in Boston, just 2 years later. I think he deserves at least 1 more year with this core group of young guys to prove he can do something with them. After next year if they aren't in the playoffs you have to ax him.
All that being said, something has to change with GarPax, and I think it will now that they have an unbiased 3rd party opinion in there that will hopefully lead to one or both of them being pushed out
