Kings to fire Karl in coming days

But since it's obvious Cuz and others have quit on Karl, why wait? Cook something up while an assistant coaches a couple games, maybe the players rally around thinking their voices are heard and their input matters. Since it is clear certain players don't give a damn to show up as long as Karl is still here. It's a bad look for everyone involved, so if you're going to let him go just do it now. Karl doesn't deserve to be in limbo as a HOF coach, the players don't deserve to wait around, and it's just going to prolong the bashing the FO will take.
Uh huh. All those GREAT coaches that have gone on the greatness after they were free of Cousins tyranny.
I hear Westphal is killing it with his grandson's elementary school team.
Oh wait, you mean there's only ONE coach that has gone on from here to head coach in the NBA again, and that was the only coach that Cousins got along with?

Holy mother of God, the comments to this article are some of the most ignorant I've ever read.
Like, if they were trolling and just making a satire of the stupidest things fans could possibly say, it wouldn't look much different.

No argument was offered. I simply observed that there are posters that have appeared to function as if they were working for a PR firm representing staff members, who's posts I found annoying, the fact they are annoying to me is the reason I question their bona fide existence, rather the converse. Just an observation no real claim or warrant involved.

If I agreed that this season is lost then I am not sure it would really matter to me when we fire Karl. Really the best reason to fire him ASAP is to try and salvage the season. Despite the prediction that we will need to win about 19 of the 30 remaining games, here we sit just 6 games behind the eight seed with 30 games left to play and a team that has shown some flashes of good ball. Don't get me wrong I was the guy who semi-seriously wanted to ax Karl after the Philly loss in Jan just to make sure he did not climb over PJ for career wins on the back of a team he was miss-coaching. If the removal of Karl is only to hand the team over to an interim coach then sure why bother to do it now unless it is to quell dissent?
Season is not over. Still a veteran roster constructed that could theoretically finish strongly. Maybe not 8th seed strongly. But promise for next year strongly.
Just depends on who they are looking at. Frankly most of the guys I am interested in are already technically available. I'd have no interest in waiting until the summer when we had to compete for them fair and square if there was a chance to nab them.
Then again wrongheaded as Vivek is we're probably lucky the Pels haven't canned Gentry yet. A while back little birdies whispered we were interested in him formerly.

That's true. The Karl bunch within the ranks of the assistants are Chad Iske, John Welch, Anthony Carter, and Vance Walberg. If any one of them is chosen to succeed him then there wouldn't be much change. If they are all let go that's a lot of assistants to replace. Although, how many assistants do you really need?
