<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sixers coach Randy Ayers has been fired, Stephen A. Smith of the Inquirer reports. Details will follow soon. A press conference is expected later today. Sixers assistant and former Celtics head coach Chris Ford will take over immediately </div> Full Story
What a mess right now in Philly, Larry got out at the right time Maybe they could go after Scott or O'Brien.
Geez....poor Ayers, facing the same fate as Scott because of his team performing badly. Maybe they should try and get Doc!
I would've want someone else but Ford is one of the 50 most winningest coaches,I shouldn't complain before I see the Sixers playin,actually I haven't seen Ford coaching so do you know does he give PT for younger guys too?
Is Ford taking over temporarily, or what? I would love to see Doc in Philly. Orlando is a somewhat similar team.

Very sad but even despite the injuries the team was losing. Its the coach that gets the can first...always the coach.
Not a big shocker here. Ford is a very good coach, if he does well for the remainder of the season he'll be back.
I hope that Ford will bring that "coach hustle" back to Philly,I didn't see Ayers once to scream on the coach on the foul call like Brown did in the other way I didn't see Ayers scream on the players too
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Martin:</div><div class="quote_post">I think he stays for the reminder of the season and then we're going after Maurice Cheeks</div> I doubt it. He got an extension not too long ago. Unless he gets fired I don't think you'll be getting Cheeks.

Im pretty sure Iverson was coaching the team. I think he was afraid of the players, although I think he was doing a OKAY job, I think he was too easy on the players. I though they would name Alex English as the head coach, but oh well. Im pretty confident in Ford. Hopefully he can turn things around.
I am shocked I am sort of gald hopefully this coach for is good cause ive never heard of him if not maybe we can go for a better coach

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Arthur:</div><div class="quote_post">He got out because he started this ****!</div> Larry caused Philly to lose their games this year uh? interesting He knew the Sixers were heading in the wrong direction.
Wow. Can't say I didn't see it coming, because Philly is an underachieving team this year. AI has missed a few games due to injures, but he usually pulls them to the playoffs, 21-31 won't cut it. Who is the longest-tenured Eastern Conference Coach?
