Not really a surprise

Rumors of his dismissal for weeks

 

[Jack Straw]

I think Phil Jackson may be available.

 

[BostonBob]

And in typical Knicks fashion they fire the guy after letting him run practice and address the media. Oh Knicks - never change.

 

[Terry Yake]

Either one. But the NBA has been waiting for the return of the triangle offense.

As far as I know they are currently paying millions to P-Jax, Derek Fisher, Jeff Hornacek and now Fizdale all to not work for them.

Would not be shocked if Steve Mills gets fired after the season so we may add that one to list.

Dolan is such a garbage owner. Team has the worst winning % in the last 20 years, has made the playoffs like 5 or 6 times during that span and we now have players in the league who weren’t even alive when they last made the finals.

maybe it'll return in the form of brian shaw

but if you think 74 year old phil jackson is going to come out of retirement and coach the knicks then lol

It's insane how much of a dumpster fire the Knicks are. Fizdale never really had a chance with this group.

Fizdale is the real winner here, he gets to spend more time with his attractive wife and no more time with James Dolan, who will still be paying him for at least the next 3 years. And while I'm not sure he's getting another HC job, surely some team out there will be interested to offer an assistant role to him.

The Knicks of the past 20 years are so bad, I remember when it was must see NBA TV when the Knicks were playing the Bulls and Pacers.

When's the last time you were intrigued to see the Knicks on TV? They are the Washington Redskins of the NBA...incompetent owner and it all trickles down after.

They had that 54-win team in 2013 when Knicks fans thought they could challenge the Heat.

LOL yeah I remember that, they lost to Indiana in the second round.

No one thought they could challenge the Heat. Like how no one thought the Hawks team that finished ahead of LeBron 2.0 Cavs team could take out the Cavs.

I wish my Knicks could fire Dolan. Someone needs to hurry up and find a tape of him being a racist.

 

[Ivan13]

I want Dolan to coach. If you're going mental at least go Spinal Tap on it. Crank it to 11 baby.

Not since that 1999 team. Even that one team with Carmelo wasn't that intriguing because everyone knew they stood no chance against LeBron if they had gotten that far.

Read today Fiz will be getting $17 million so yea not too bad. He was doomed from the start but at least he got a nice chunk of change for his troubles.

loved seeing #KnicksTape everywhere and the Melo 4 MVP calls

He sells the Knicks, but turns around and then kicks them out of the Garden, lol.

Let Stephen A finish the season as coach. You'll get the same record, but they'll actually be entertaining.

I was pretty high on Fizdale a few years back when he was leaving Miami because of how highly everyone spoke of him and his role on the LeBron teams. He then went to Memphis and I thought he did some good things there with an aging roster but there were also some issues towards the end. Then he goes to New York and it's just a complete disaster. He's certainly not to blame for this Knicks mess as I don't think any coach can succeed there but he also didn't help with some of his decisions and the way he used certain young players. Basically, I have no idea if he's a good HC or not. Still, good for him for getting out of the no-win situation and still getting paid for the next few years.

Man I could 150% see him doing this. That’s how much of an arse he is.

didn’t help that they signed 4 power forwards and told him to figure it out. The roster construction was God awful

hmmmm.....

 

[BostonBob]

I guess " Johnathan Daly " forgot to mention that the idiots that surround Dolan were all hired by Dolan.
