<span style="font-family:Century Gothic">it was either last year or 2 years ago (i'm not sure time goes fast) coaches were being fired left and right. With all the moves going on so early in this off-season, many coaches don't have an excuse as to why their teams suck.so which coaches will be fired if next year doesn't work out???</span>

i didn't mean literally every coach. I was just making a point on how impatient ownership is with coaching. Sometimes management doesn't realize that they just put a sh*tty team together.
Depending on what Danny Ainge does with this roster, possibly Doc Rivers? I mean if we somehow do not make the playoffs again next year, Doc is on the hotseat and Pierce could kick himself in the ass.

He did it so much that he even wrote a book about it. You might have heard about it. It's called "The Last Season" by Phil Jackson

I think he's a great guy, very charismatic, player's love him, and he's a great teacher for the young players. He will especially help out Telfair and Rondo because Doc was an NBA PG himself. But I think all Doc really needs is a set rotation of people that come out to play every night. We had that in 04-05 with Pierce, Walker, Ricky, Payton, and Raef plus a healthy Tony Allen, and energy guys like Perk, Jefferson, Banks, and West. Damn, I loved that team.
That team was nice. but i think Toine hurt us in the playoffs. He was playing selfish, and it costed us a first round exit.

How about Eric Musselman? If the Kings go downhill, it will not look good for him at all. Adelman did a great job for quite a long time, so it's a hard thing to live up to.
Jeff Van Gundy needs to have a good season. For that matter, he needs to have a good start, because I think the Rockets are very close to firing him.
I think Mike fratello of the Griz might get the axe if his team struggles. I'm sure Mr. Logo is tired of being swept and getting the hopes of all those fans up for nothing. And whoever the coach of Seattle is... He has to come through. The Sonics seriously under-achieved last year.I personally think it's time for Jerry Sloan to step down and start a new era in Utah.

If they really do bad he would probably get fired. Also Isiah he is going bye bye after next season unless he pulls a act of god, and get's that team into the playoffs. And I really don't see that happening. Well he deff can get into the playoffs if your talking about the NBA lottery playoffs for Oden. :HAHAHA: Also the Memphis coach I don't think he will be fired unless Memphis does really bad, but there is a chance that he might get fired if Memphis does not make the playoffs. And I really don't think that be the case they should make the playoffs easy.
