Just two weeks into the second post-LeBron James era, Dan Gilbert fired Tyronn Lue, according to The Athletic’s Joe Vardon and Shams Charania. Could Dan Gilbert’s quick trigger finger scare off potential Cleveland Cavaliers’ head coaching replacements for Lue? It is a legitimate possibility.
For Dan Gilbert, firing coaches quickly is not an isolated incident. Gilbert took ownership of the team in 2005, and they’ll be onto their fifth different head coach (keep in mind Mike Brown was hired and fired twice).
During Mike Brown’s first tenure, he was around for five seasons.
