I don't blame Willie for the team's struggles during his tenure, especially the games where Zion and / or BI were out, but we are 5-22 getting blown out regularly. Something has to change.

Murray is doing a good job of getting him closer to being canned.

Now from a timing standpoint makes sense as well. You have 3 off days then a short trip to Houston before a long homestand.

3 days off allows the interim to get organized and having the long homestand gives the opportunity to practice at the facility and work on anything the interim coach wants to fix.

If it doesn’t get done now it won’t be until the new year.

I can't wait for them to make the move and elevate Borrego. Then we will see what a massive shitshow it still is and how swapping coaches made no difference at all. He's already here and it's not working. But I guess he's OK with players ignoring him until he becomes the head coach. Green is just holding him back..

shite, I don’t even know when they played last. I assume this thread means they lost?

Sure, fire him. Or not. I’m apathetic at this point. Who cares?

Keep Willie. He’s doing great tanking. I’m down to fire him once we actually trade our core. Whether that’s February or the summer

Game after Willie is fired is about the only thing that will get me to watch a game at this point.

I’m fairly convinced Griff is keeping him BECAUSE he sucks at this point.

I can’t even say I disagree with the strategy. Where else are you going to find a coach this bad who can develop young players this well?

Hes going to lose us games on his own. That’s a hot commodity for us this year.

Can’t believe I’m defending keeping him.

I'll be surprised if anyone will take Zion. There's a huge risk taking him with that salary and his injury history.

Why fire him now and pay the dead money while you get someone to coach our bench players?

Gayle is too cheap to fire Willie today. Let him continue to lose while we tank.

I'm not sure Griff does, as long as Benson keeps signing the checks...

Murray has been pretty disappointing so far.

Willie would probably be happy to get put out of his misery.

True, but he’s got 3 decent excuses.And he should get no hate from the fans at this point.

1) His mom had a stroke a few days before the opener

2) Zion’s fatass sat out of the opener with hurt feelings (and Murray got hurt as a result)

3) Murray rehabbed in a respectable amount of time, only to return to a team that still was nursing major injuries, including to Zion.
