I think he has done a hell of a job and pushes the right button way more often than the wrong one. He transformed our culture in year one and then turned us into a top 14 defense (top 8 after the break). Think about our history for a minute and then think about how big of a deal that is.
I agree that the threes can get annoying but here’s a thought, how about we start making them at a higher clip? We need a bit more consistency out of our shooters next season.

I kind of see Mike Brown as the guy who gets us back to the playoffs (consistently), maybe gets us to be a 2nd round/WCF team (consistently), but who will ultimately need to be let go to bring in someone else who will be able to get us over that final hurdle, and hopefully contend for a championship.
I think he gets next year as a "freebie", even if we regress and then year 4 is when that seat starts to get warm. If you don't see actual growth by the end of year 4, it's probably just not working out.
But that's a logical way to map out a coach with a franchise. Firing him after 2 seasons, with 2 of the best win totals we've had in 16 years, is insanity. This past year was our SIXTH best year in franchise history! Think about that for a second.

I was frustrated with Brown this season and feel like he cost us a few games.
You CAN NOT fire him. He has built a culture here, and posted back to back winning seasons. We haven’t seen either of those things in Sacramento for 15+ years.
You just found stability as a franchise, you do not ruin that because you missed the Playoffs as a 46 win team in a historically stacked conference.

The bolded part of your post is pretty much what I despise about today's NBA...Even if threes are not falling, teams still tend to jack them up at such an insane rate. I would much rather a team, as soon as they realize that they're even gonna struggle to hit the broad side of the barn, kind of pull back on the long-range game, and start going inside a little more.
I don't think he has much chance of being fired and am not advocating for it now,.....but to answer your question, if they were somehow able to find a better head coach, then it probably wouldn't be a train wreck.
Hypothetical....if one of the teams in the league who has a head coach that you would consider better than Brown, decided to move on from that coach, would you consider jumping on the chance to bring him in?

I wouldn’t have been opposed to promoting Jordi (I think he has potential to be a great head coach), but that ship has sailed.
With that being said, Mike Brown is a good coach and we’re not getting anyone better than him. I didn’t like his coaching for the first half of the season and blamed a lot of losses on him, but you could really see him make the adjustments and tweaks as the season came to a finish. His biggest area of improvement was on the defensive end where a number of my frustrations with him subsided. What’s his big fault as a head coach? Keegan going cold? Keon getting scared of the lights? Lyles forgetting how to play basketball? Monk getting injured? Huerter getting injured? He was not the problem tonight. Any franchise would be fortunate to be led by Brown at helm. This roster always had a cap of 1st round. That’s not his fault.
Do you want to end up with George Karl as your head coach? Because this is how you end up with George Karl.

No, because I think he's done an excellent job as a coach and good coaches deserve plenty of rope and opportunity to see their plan/vision for the team through. He's proven step 1 (win games). Step 2 is now how he takes this team to the next level to win a playoff series and make an actual playoff run.
If you prove step 1, you deserve the chance to prove step 2. Just in my personal opinion, that SHOULD start to show out by the end of year 4. If we're stuck in mud, or regressing, by then, that's when you consider a change.

In all honesty and transparency, I thought about closing this down, but y'all proved me wrong.
It sucks, we lost.
We lost to a team that we lost to all year.
We lost to a team who was missing their best player. (Nevermind us not having the wildcard or Huerter)
We lost to a team that has had our number all year.
That said, this loss helps us get to where we want to be. It shows management what we need to be better. We need length. We need a bigger interior presence. We need Huerter to return to form, and Keegan to continue to develop. Among other things.
We're not a finished product. It's ok to be upset. And I'm frankly proud of how we're responding to this. Be upset. Be reasonable. Look for growth.
Thanks, all.
