Imagine being such a bad prospect as a franchise, you have to offer a coach a six year contract and $80mio.

And then imagine such a bad season, you rather let him go and eat the rest of his contract, than have him continue the work.

Some real geniuses in Detroit.

I guess Tom Gores had a lot a money to burn

For that amount of money, the Pistons could fund and support a state-of-the-art coaching and scientific research center, that churns out coaches and simultaneously works to improve player performance, but they decided instead to hand it off to one guy. That organization shows no creativity.

Has to be the most $ left a coach has on their deal when fired right?

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I think it was the biggest coach contract to begin with, so must be.

Isn't Mike Brown still collecting checks from the Cavs?

In the NBA maybe, I think Texas A&M has two football coaches they had to pay more to fire
