Get rid of Hitchcock right now. Let one of the assistants run it for the rest of the year. The game has passed the old man by and his negativity is toxic.

What good would that do? We are out of it anyways, changing coaches twice would probably make things worse. Let him ride it out and hire someone in the offseason.

Where do you go from here? Coach and GM have been fired.. jerseys being tossed again.

This organization is toxic..

I wouldn't be shocked to have a new GM in place so the cowards left in management have someone to hide behind again.

So, how bad does this need to get before Katz will take running this team seriously for the first time ever? Or is there no low low enough for that?

He has to be a bit concerned about the expensive seats all being up for renewal. No more allure of the new arena. Now everyone knows that you can still have a trash team that isn't worth watching even with a generational player.
For the first time in the Katz era, this team has run out of hope to sell. I’m curious to see what they do next. Might be the right time to sell.

Yeah I'm done with him too. Tired of him buttering the team up and telling everyone this is the hardest he is ever going to coach. Go back to retirement.

I'm guessing it was Hitchcock.

Oh for sure it was.

Look at the eye level.

Players on the bench are usually slouched so their eye level is pretty much at the height of the boards. Cags is easily staring 6 feet above that.

Keeping him will make it worse.

Hitch is a fine coach when things are going well, if it nose-dives (as it has in the last 20 games) he's the last person you want around young players.

He is toxic when things are going bad.

How can a team 2 games under .500 still be 3 points out of a playoff spot in February? This team is dumb. Teams in front of us need to stop sucking.
