Sixers Fire Head Coach Eddie Jordan


Eddie Jordan was relieved today as head coach of the Philadelphia 76′ers after one season. The team was 27-55 and never found a measure of consistency. In the presser, GM Ed Stefanski said the decision to hire Jordan was the “wrong one.” When asked about the Princeton system Jordan employs, Stefanski’s words were “obviously it didn’t work”. He was asked about a replacement and his response was “the search is wide open” and that the there is “no time line” to find a new coach. He said it wasn’t a matter of “playing hard” but a matter of “executing”. Stefanski also mentioned that “no one is safe” and team would explore all options regarding trades. Regarding personnel. “We’re very encouraged in our point guard. We think we found a gem in Jrue Holiday.” “I’m just going to work hard as possible and don’t think it will take much to get back on track.”
