Should Doc Rivers be fired?

The question is simple, do you think Doc Rivers should be let go? or should he be allowed to continue with the Celts?

Personally, I think Rondo's injury played a huge part in the Celtics only winning one game. I also think Ray Allen really didn't show up, usually he's good for at least 1 game a series where his deadly 3-ball decides the game. In this series, save a few nasty dunks, he really didn't do much. I did not see the Ray Allen that runs through picks all over the 3-point line to get 2 inches to get off a shot. Was that Doc Rivers fault? Maybe he takes some of the blame, but you certainly can't blame Doc for Rondo's injury.

I think you got to give Doc at least one more year to see what he can do.... maybe a Garnett trade or something, open up some cap space and sign somebody. The Celtics should not be "blown up," maybe retooled a bit.

Coaching wasnt the issue.... the trade didnt affect the team as much as is lead on. The main problem is the fact that the best players on the team (except Rondo) are old.

Perkins made it clear that he wanted more money than he was worth this offseason. they made a move to get younger and I think it was the first of a few more to come this summer.

Just for the sake of thread continuity, No he should not be fired.

Definitely one of the better coaches in the league, whose loses and shortcomings are only to be blamed on injuries.

He's a great coach.

Also, didn't he want to hang em up anyways?

      Our Buddy Chase Blackburn Fired

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47371200/sources-rams-fire-special-teams-coordinator-chase-blackburn LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
