I said when we hired Fizz that he seemed like a consummate bs-er.
Had a rep as a player's coach, but his main motivation technique was telling guys he would help them make a lot of money. Which means little accountability. Seemed he wanted to be liked by the players more than anything.
With that said, I liked his tank job last year. Everybody but Frankie played better than expected. It was just a talent-poor roster. But everybody got a lot of run. Mithc, Trier and Dot were nice surprises. Vonleh and Mud had career years. But I didn't like running Knox into the ground or sapping his confidence.
This year a roster with more talent, but mismatched, too many new faces, few defenders, lotta guys not expected around long-term, vets and yute.
So really the onus is on the front office for crafting two poor rosters and not being willing to suck it up and tank two years straight.
With that said, Fizz never developed any team identity or stable rotation. And this year's Defense was something of a league-wide joke. In an era where guys you never heard of might shoot 15 3-pointers in a game, and every team hunts 3's, Fizz decided we need to guard inside and perimeter rotations on D were all mucked up. That's on Coach (and personnel).
I also didn't like Fizz running RJB into the ground and trying to sap his confidence.
I don't have much knowledge of Perry, though he seems like a hack. Signed Tim Jr to a ridiculous deal, brought in the PF crew, drafted well.
I think Mills is a weasel, he's shown loyalty to Dolan and been Dolan's spy, and seems one of those self-preserving types. We really need Mills out. But sure, they both need to go.
Pretty obvious this wasn't all Fizz's fault.
The Knix, as ever, starting over.
Key is do we (or Dolan) trust Perry-Mills to make the deals to move Morris and other vets in exchange for yute/picks?
