My pick is Gentry..Not all his fault, but usually that's how it plays out in this league.

Jeff hornacek.

Unrealistic expectations, check
overrated basketball mind calling shots, check
Big market pressure, check
Bad record, check
Coach and GM not on same page, check
Egoistic players, check
Cancers on team, check and check

Dolan might fire Phil before Horny, tbh

How long will Joerger last in Sacramento with 'Coach Killer Cousins'

[HarlemHeat37]

Gentry's a good choice, despite being given a shitty roster..

Hoiberg would have been my choice had the Bulls started poorly, but they've been better than expected, so far(although that won't last)..

[Mal]

I`ll go with Scotty Brooks

[DMC]

Brett Brown

brett brown or nop coach whoever he is...

Pels got destroyed at home by the Lakers..really think Gentry will get fired before 2017..

[apalisoc_9]

Gentry will get fired.

But Dell Demps is really the guy that should lose his Job..I'm not surprised no one talks about his piss poor decision. I hate the white racist as much as the next guy, but someone needs to have the balls to fire a Black GM...

Black GMs get zero reputation dip everytime they fuck up an organization ( nets) etc.

Gentry basically coached a D-League team plus davis the last twp years..What the fuck is he supposed to do if everyone is injured and Tim Frazier ( good player) is their second best player?

Demps is the problem. Gentry sucks and has been a downgrade from Monty, but Demps is horrible.

[Raven]

I don't see why would Gentry get fired, he has absolutely 0 talent (save for AD)on the roster until at least Jrue is back..

He basically had the same roster last season which Monty took to the playoffs the previous season, and he went 30-52.

Agreed it is Demps' mess and he should pay for it first. However it is clear that Gentry is simply a shitty HC (elite Assistant, tho)..In 13 seasons as Head coaches he only made the playoffs 3 times with one (2008-2009 when Suns won 54 wins) as a contender..

What leads me more into thinking he will get the ax soon is that even AD doesn't seem to like him that much..

I thought Pelican fans hated Monty?

Why'd they fire Monty, again?

[Pelicans78]

I wasn't a big fan, but when he finally got the team to the playoffs two seasons ago, I felt he should have kept his job. Gentry has been a downgrade for sure.

[Pelicans78]

Why'd they fire Monty, again?

Because Demps wanted a different style of play with more up-tempo and spacing so he got Gentry from the Warriors while Monty was more defense oriented. But Monty knew the guys he had weren't good enough defensively to play an up-tempo style.

Didn't understand his firing after that either.

[spursistan]

Surprisingly the axe hasn't fallen yet on any coach..Still think it is going to be Gentry in the off-season...

[SpursIndonesia]

Hoiberg seems getting more & more vulnerable lately, and his superstars also don't look too fond of him. He's the FO's chosen coach, and the flawed roster isn't his fault, but i think he will soon be the main scapegoat for the team failure.

Gentry and Demps should get fired together.

You cannot replace Thibs with Whoreburger and expect success.

[HarlemHeat37]

I'm guessing Gentry gets fired during the off-season to save face for the Cousins-Davis duo failing(although I still don't know why people blew their loads for this season's outlook over a mid-season trade with an awkward fit) and giving a different coach a shot..Demps will get fired, 100%, next season, if NO doesn't make the playoffs again..

Have the Grizzlies players quit on Fizdale after his "you can kiss my ass" stunt?
