Mike Brown Fired

[iowamcnabb]

LoL, you talk like He was Rick Adelman.......

hahahhaha 8 winning seasons since ‘85, two by the guy we just fired. 16 years of no playoffs and we can’t even play out a 3rd year with the coach that ended that drought

 

[jiimbob]

Not exactly the big news I was hoping for this morning, I live in Australia, it’s early.

So, Jordi would be looking good as the replacement if only a year earlier, now will have to look into what up and coming best candidates are out there.

 

[gunks]

Would have preferred a Fox trade before this, but Vivek gonna Vivek.

Not too sad to see Brown go but I'm very concerned about who we hire next.

I hope y'all are ready for the Mark Jackson era

I wouldn't call last year a winning season, but that's just me. Mostly because it wasn't enough wins to get in the playoffs.

 

[gunks]

I will lmao if Luke Loucks is announced as the interim coach.

Laugh all the way to a top 5 pick!

 

[Elektrik]

Has any head coach been fired this soon, after signing an extension?

Great question

 

[Joshyjosh31]

So Tristan da Silva saves this season. That's what you're saying?

Silva helps the team not the 6’3 rebounder sitting in street clothes nobody is saving the team when fox is out there doing the crap he’s doing

 

[fansinceday1]

Are the kings gonna fire Monty too? Or are they gonna let him hire the next coach AND THEN FIRE HIM?

That’s the sign that they are back to being the kangz.
How they handle this next hire and who does the hiring,

Dlo isn’t getting a fox interview again

 

[AaronPDX]

Brown wasn't the problem. The guy who wrongly thinks he's a superstar "supermax" player is still the problem.

Doug’s expected to be the kings interim head coach. He’s gonna get a chance to prove himself.

LFG!!!!

All the local media members are not holding back about this situation

Interesting!

 

[Jones2006]

I'm Anti Coach Brown but just don't like the timing. In fact I'm generally against all midseason firings ... He must have really lost locker room, unfortunate. But hey he still gets all the money owed to him. Hard to feel bad for him due to that alone.

 

[captain bill]

After last night it was trade Fox or fire Brown. Both of their pressers made that crystal clear. Fox might still end up getting traded but this was absolutely the right move if the org wants one last shot at winning with Fox. Still a good chance Fox gets traded - and we have til the deadline next year to figure that out - but it’s the right decision now to tear the bandaid off and see what options we have. Can’t even imagine how bad another week of this dynamic would have been.

 

[ESP47]

Happy for Doug because who doesn't like Doug, but this is a pretty Kangzy move.

 

[Srzly]

This is absurd.

I have not agreed with a lot of Brown’s decisions, such as his handling of Keon/rotations, but this is just dumb to do right now.

Frankly, I would have preferred to see Monte go before Brown.

This is upsetting. Wish it was a joke.

Don’t all the media guys see the players in person? Dlo is talking crazy about Fox

 

[SLAB]

Christie is the best option because now we’ll finally know what we have with him.

Will they respond to his positive energy? Will he be able to coach defense like he played it?

Who knows… but it’s win / win. He’s either actually good, and we go from there. Or he isn’t but at least we finally figured out what he brings to the table as a coach.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Happy for Doug because who doesn't like Doug, but this is a pretty Kangzy move.

The concern is that if things don't go well, is he a lame duck interim? Or is there some sort of verbal agreement that he's the head coach going into next season?

He pretty much aggressively putting the blame on Fox. I don’t recall specifics, but my mouth dropped hearing what he was saying about Fox

 

[Joshyjosh31]

He is but everything he has said is spot on

My money is on lame duck interim unless the team miraculously starts climbing the standings under him.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Fox has to go he’s not that guy

And brown isn’t the one putting together a mismanaged roster

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

One thing to keep in mind, is Doug survived the Walton/Gentry year. Maybe he sticks around no matter what the staff is?

 

[The_Jamal]

At least I get to be in the win-win scenario this time. Either I get to tell the Christie weirdos they're wrong or Christie is a great coach and my team has a good coach. Good emotional hedge
