What would it take for Mike Woodson to get fired?

[niko]

If Mike Woodson stripped naked, pissed on members of the crowd, had sex with Felton in a big vat of donuts at mid court, would he be fired?

If he pulled out an AK47 and ran around and only shot women and children would he be fired?

If he ran to midcourt and started twerking Miley Cyrus style and when the cops grabbed him to stop exploded a nuclear device that wiped out half the population of north america would he be fired?

If he wrote a song called "Hitler was right except he should have tried harder" and sang it before every Knick game, would he be fired?

Seriously, i get you can only coach what you have but his defense involves so much switching as to be practically impossible, plays Felton unless he fouls out (literally Felton was awful but only got removed by fouling out), never removes JR (you know Dolan benched JR because Woody loves him to death), and every timeout the play called is "Melo left" or "Melo right".

Rant over. Please pile on.

[fpliii]

I think he's done after this season regardless.

[MrC1991]

Probably not.

[niko]

He should have been done sometime in December. I get the Knicks players aren't doing what they need to, but our plan seems to be
1) pick a rotation
2) stick to it even if the players don't do anything they are told
3) play felton and JR no matter what. Have a ten point lead, Felton comes in and gives it up, DO NOT REMOVE HIM. LEAVE HIM IN NO MATTER WHAT.

Do you know the Knicks have a winning record in games Felton does not play?

[Foster5k]

Knicks are a mess, and it's not Woodson's fault, entirely.

Look how many coaches that Knicks have ran through and still the same results.

Sooner or later, you have to stop looking at the coach and start looking elsewhere.

[DaSeba5]

That team is flawed though. I can't say I watch enough Knick games to comment on Woodson, but it would take a hell of a coach to win with this team.

[LeBron 06]

Woodson is not a good coach,but the knicks are a terrible team

I hate when Felton and JR are on the floor, which is most of the time. My dad hates the current rotation too, just talked to him today and he mentioned it.

I haven't watched a Knicks game in a couple weeks, but I was sure Woodson would be out by the trade deadline.

Knew someone would come in to post this. Not saying it's all Woodson's fault, but he's at least a third of the problem. Switching is killing us, and it's so blatantly obvious that teams are exploiting this on Felton. Every single night, you can without doubt pencil in a near career night for the opposition PG, or at least add 10 points to his PPG total for the year.

It's gotten wildly out of hand and it's just downright embarrassing. JR and Felton do not get close to warranting half the minutes they get. Woodson has a hell of a lot of say over that.

Why is Mike Woodson untouchable? His rotations are bad, the team's effort overall is bad (Chandler doesn't give good effort anymore), his defensive philosophy doesn't match his personnel, and he is married to two players who have been awful all year (including JR coming off serious surgery).

So we should keep a bad coach because historically we've been bad? That's just brilliant.

[DaSeba5]

I think they should start completely over if they can, which means firing Woodson. This team has no future with the current roster and coach.

[Heavincent]

It does baffle me how much switching the Knicks defense does. It's just a lazy way of playing defense.

[niko]

I'll give an example, the Knicks are married to playing with a PG as the primary ball handler. But we have no good PG, and at times have had no PG with injuries. But we have three really good SG, including 2 (JR and Shump) who can bring the ball up, and Melo who can act as PF.

So with injuries, do we go with the three guard, Melo, Chandler look? NOPE. Never. Maybe five minutes here and there with people fouling out. Instead we put in D-League Murray, Priggy for more minutes than he could do, Udrih for as much as he tried (and has been maligned unfairly) has sucked. We are married to a system where we lose 70% of the time.

How does that make him untouchable?

[mr.big35]

Him and Joe Dumars got the best job security.

[FKAri]

Mike Woodson would have to be convicted of genocide by an International tribunal.

What would you do, start with Melo or dump him? That's the worst thing about Dolan, it's all about money. The Knicks under him will never rebuild with young players and the draft, he doesn't want to risk having a team that doesn't win many games (oh the irony) for a few years if it means losing $$$.

That's why they are forever in the process of going after big name FA's.

[Teanett]

that same core of players, minus some vets who combined for like 12 minutes a game and a dinosaur called jason kidd, won 54 games last season.

[mr.big35]

how is it possible for them to be so bad after one year?

[DaSeba5]

that same core of players, minus some vets who combined for like 12 minutes a game and a dinosaur called jason kidd, won 54 games last season.

Why are they so bad after one year then? Leadership? Kidd must have been an important part of the team.

The season of last year was a fluke for the knicks

I would keep Melo if I can. He isn't the problem. I mean he's not perfect, but he's still a franchise player. Start to build a young core around him and bring in some vets. It's going to take a couple of years though. Melo may not want to stay for that. Shump and Hardaway are good pieces for instance.

[Teanett]

yes, exactly and woodson provides next to none of it.
and he has no plan whatsoever other than trying different lineups that consist of felton, jr and melo. thank god bargs is injured, otherwise we would see him showing opposing point guards the way from ray felton to the basket.

[D.J.]

This time last year, people wanted Woodson COY. This isn't his fault. They lost leaders in the locker room, their bigs are walking sheets of glass, they re-signed JR for whatever reason, and this is what you get. This isn't a coaching issue. It's a bad ownership issue. Look at who the Knicks have had as coaches over the past decade or so. JVG(though not for long), Lenny Wilkens, Larry Brown. These are some of the better coaches you're ever going to see and even they couldn't do anything. Marbury was too much for even Larry Brown of all people.

[AnaheimLakers24]

dolans cool with blacks so no he wont get fire cause it makes him not look like a racist. new york should kill him and hang him off the empire state builing for all to see

:biggums:

It's just sports man.

[absalom]

He can't be fired, his agency is CAA. :no:

[coin24]

Woodson has to be gone after this season.. Same as everyone except for melo and hardaway jr.
It'll be hard to turn down those max $$ but melo should sign in LA:oldlol:

[DStebb716]

They'll fire him after the season. It's gone too far to fire him now, I guess. Typical Dolan. As soon as the media started saying it was time to fire Woodson he stood tall and refused because he's a prideful idiot.

Should've been gone in the offseason and Mike Budenholzer should've been hired.

she sexyyy

[smoovegittar]

He'll be gone after the season. I think it's well known that getting rid of the staff now would do NOTHING. Just gotta wait.

I for one am done watching Knick games after last night. Bring on the playoffs.

[El Gato Negro]

The knicks shouldn't change a thing, they're hilarious as is.
