Shocking move as they’re the 5th seed and Ja has missed half the season.

He’s a good young coach, we should hire him this offseason

It’s a no brainer to hire him.

If you take out last season when their entire team was injured he’s won 59% of his games as Memphis’ coach. That includes 19-20 and 20-21 when Ja was in his first 2 years and the entire team was just young guys.

Griffin should be hiring Taylor Jenkins before the sun sets today

Something definitely happened. This is a weird firing at this time. But yes we should be all over this, this offseason.

Yeah I agree the timing is weird. I’m guessing something happened or there’s some internal BS going on.

That is insane, but I don't see any way they keep Willie after this season. Let the tank continue then let him go.

He would be a great hire, really don't understand Memphis firing him something must have happened behind the scenes.

We missed out on Udoka and Bickerstaff to keep this
mediocre arse coach. We can not miss out on this opportunity to land an actual good one on a silver platter.

Coaches just sometimes run their course with a team. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad coach.

Reminds me of Mike Malone, got run out of Sacramento then gets hired by the nuggets and wins a title.

Jenkins is only 40, he could be our coach for a while.

He’s also analytics driven, and understands the value of the 3pt shot unlike Willie.

Griff just got a gift potentially handed to him.

Jenkins needs to be our next coach

I don't think anyone is satisfied with those results

This would make far far too much sense for us to do

Also had to be something internal happening here

I don't see why we should hire him.

He has his team in the playoffs with their superstar missing playing time

OH MY GOD HE'S PERFECT FOR US
