…why?
WTF??! It has to be a scandal or a personal/health issue right? They are a 4 seed rn. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a playoff team part ways w a coach this late. Blatt would be closest iirc
Saw a tweet from Underdog a while ago before Shams. Thought it was a troll job
Edit: **latest tweet from Shams**: Taylor Jenkins was called into the Grizzlies office this morning and was fired in person, sources tell ESPN. Stunning dismissal. Jenkins now becomes one of the top head coaching candidates for the upcoming cycle. He had a .539 winning percentage as Grizzlies coach.
Mike Brown come on down!
Is there something I missed lol
Wild move this late in the year
What.
Damn. 15 games above .500 without their best/ franchise player. Couple of weeks before the playoffs. Vibes in the locker room must’ve been awful.
Uhhh
dog WHAT
Less than a month til playoffs? Something must’ve happened
Has a playoff team ever fired their coach this late in the season??
Right before a playoff run???
It’s almost APRIL. What the fuck are they doing.
Oh shit. Thing had gotten that bad in Memphis? Or did something else happen???
What the hell? The timing of this seems super weird. Grizz fans, what do you make of this?
Whose wife did he fuck??
Im sorry but this could’ve waited till the end of the season
44-29 with the 5th seed despite our best player stealing a check week in and week out by not playing. Not really sure what else they wanted
It’s fine. They have 2 whole weeks to find a new coach for the playoffs.
Team turned on him? I know Bane and Santi got into it. But scheme wise Taylor Jenkins is one of the best in the entire league. His offense maximizes what is honestly a limited group offensively.
Right before playoffs??
did he kill a guy ????
Totally normal way to head into the playoffs
Firing your coach on March 28th is insanity.
This screams the man is either about to be arrested or did something scandalous. Makes little sense to do this now.
Something has to have happened. Also, this team has looked like they haven’t cared for months now. I wonder wtf is happening.
Shocked. I’ve known fans have been clamoring for it, and we have been all over the place lately.
But doing this as a four seed this late in the season is legit insane.
Holy shit. Literal last minute gamble for their season. Unless there’s about to be some massive scandal
in his few years as HC he has two 2nd seed finishes. constantly overperforming. we never actually have our starters healthy. baffling decision.
We thinking that the euro assistant who got hired to install the offense this year is gonna be the one to step in? His name is escaping me at the moment but that was my first thought
Until more information comes out, I think that’s a risky move because the Grizzlies have been pretty successful with him as their head coach.
That’s wild. Locker room has to be incredibly toxic right now. Thats the only explanation I could think of. They’re 44-29.
Been fighting for the 2 seed all year. He def swung on someone or told someone to kiss his ass lmao.
Whoa, that’s crazy. This close to the playoffs? With the team doing reasonably well? Wonder what’s up.
He really sat thru every injury, empowered every draft pick, and navigated thru Ja’s off-court issues for like 6 years straight. Only time in history they were seen as fringe contenders. Right before playoffs is insane. He deserved so much better (unless he did sum heinous).
You know you’re a good coach when you get fired and everyones reaction is “he must’ve done some BAD shit”
Incredible considering Doc Rivers isn’t available right now
He must’ve fucked the owners wife. Doesn’t make any sense
