WOW! They couldn't wait till the new year and spin it as "starting off the new year on a new foot" ?!
Although I think this might be a time when firing a coach because a team is doing poorly makes sense. They were very good last year and are just horrible this year. It is the coaches job to get them back on track and he has been unable to do that.
However I also think they should fire Ben Wallace who is having another sub par season.
