Oh god no. GOD NO. Absolutely cannot do that. That is the end of Cousins in Sac, and then end of any chance at a winning team for five more years. WE HAVE THE PLAYERS!!!! WE NEED THE COACH!!
This team on paper is a top ten team in the NBA. There is absolutely no reason, with adequate to good coaching, this team can't get there.

Cuz sitting there on the bench be disruptive but I would try it. Another shake-up option would be to start Koufos, Cuz, Casspi, Gay and Rondo keeping either Cuz or Koufos in the game at all times. Let Rondo play he first half where he plays his best and let Collison play the whole second half. Another alternative. Try some of this stuff and see if it shakes these guys out of the doldrums. There's time after that to fire Karl or Cuz or some other combo.
In response to Brick's question- all the options offered are reasonable in face of team performance, where we are in the season and the upcoming move to the new arena. I have no idea what will happen. There are things like Ranadive, the ownership group, Divak, Karl, the NBA that are likely to be influential in the coming days- forces that want something to change for better or worse. Everyone has been keeping relatively calm. That will change.
