He just so happens to inherit a team with one of the best power forwards in the game and one of the best centers in the game and is given an Assistant Coach who's offense pretty much plays into these players strengths and the team takes off.
The way things have been going for the Maloofs, unless the "fire RA" crowd become more vocal, I don't see the Maloofs firing RA. They just haven't had the greatest year PR wise and unless firing Rick looks to be a popular move, it won't happen. RA will probably be gone after this year though. The trust has been broken and I don't see him sticking around for a re-building, and even now it seems like the Maloofs are just going through the motions, and sticking with Rick due to contractual obligations.
If I was to throw a name out there, I'd say Eric Musselman could be a serious candidate.
