I'd have hired Adelman, but sent him to Vegas for a while to patch things up with the Maloofs first. Then sent him on a year's sabbatical -- go spend some time on the French Riviera or whatever suits his fancy.
Meanwhile, we would get Carrot Top as acting head coach on a 1-year contract. We wind up with a .200 record, fix our roster, then tar and feather him and run him out of town on a rail.
Adelman comes back, hangs out with the Maloofs a little more, and picks up where he left off, refreshed and welcomed by everyone.
