After a 4-15 start, Randy Wittman becomes the fourth head coach to lose his job, joining Eddie Jordan (Wizards), P.J. Carlesimo (Thunder) and Sam Mitchell (Raptors). VP Kevin McHale will return as a head coach. Owner Glen Taylor explains from an article on ESPN:
"I am disappointed in our record and believe that we have more talent than our record indicates. It is my expectation that Kevin will be able to get the most out of our team and our players in his new role as head coach."
McHale will not work in the front office to focus on coaching. The team isn't feeling good about the firing of Wittman either. Rookie Kevin Love put it best:
"We have hit rock bottom."
