The Knicks decided to descend into chaos earlier than usual this season.Followi - seestyle - 08-09-2022 The Knicks decided to descendinto chaos earlier than usual this season.Following the team's 129-92 home lo s to the Nuggets on Thursday, the Knicks finally fired coach David Fizdale after weeks of , according to . New York also dismi sed a sistant coach Keith Smart, .Fizdale finishes his tenure in New York with a 21-83record and deserves a portion of the blame, but he is hardly the only reason why this organization is floundering with no direction. The Knicks have employed six different head coaches this decade, and they are on pace to mi s the playoffs for a seventh straight season. The lack of succe s always starts at the top with owner James Dolan.President Steve Mills, general manager Scott Perry and Dolan needed a fall guy, though, so Fizdale was shown the door. Who could take his seat at Madison Square Rashard Higgins Jersey Garden?Mike Miller and Pat Sullivan (interim coach)In the short-term, Miller and Sullivan are the top candidates on the current staff tofinish out the 2019-20 season, according to . It's unclear if either Miller or Sullivan will be given a chance to earn the job on a permanent basis.Miller coached the Eric Murray Jersey Westchester Knicks in the G League from 2015 through last season before serving under Fizdale. Sullivan has been an NBA a sistant for several years, most notably winning a championship as a member of the 2003-04 Pistons staff.UPDATE: Miller will take over as the interim head coach, according to .Miller had succe s as their coach at Westchester. He won G League coach of the year. Knicks have been big on creating continuity between G League and NBA team. Now it's Miller who gets the big promotion. Mike Vorkunov (@MikeVorkunov) Mark JacksonThe former Warriors coach was after the Knicks fired Jeff Hornacekin 2018. Jackson played 500 games at point guard for the Knicks over the course of a 17-year NBA career, so there is familiarity with the New York fan base.Jackson helped turn around Golden State and establish a defensive identity, but the Warriors didn't emerge as a juggernaut until Steve Kerr took over and revamped the offense.Jackson did earn the respect of his players, which will be important as the Knicks attempt to develop youngsters like RJ Barrett, Kevin Knox, Frank Ntilikina and Mitchell Robinson. However, there are concerns about his ability to build relationships outside of the locker room."Part of it was that he couldn't get along with anybody else in the organization," Warriors owner Joe Lacob said . "And look, he did a great job, and I'll always compliment him in many respects, but you can't have 200 people in the organization not like you."Jerry StackhouseStackhouse was also in the running for the job before the Knicks hired Fizdale in 2018. The two- Jaelen Strong Jersey time All-Star shooting guard got some head-coaching experience with Raptors 905 of the G League, and that eventually opened the door for him to become the men's basketball coach at Vanderbilt.It may not be a realistic pairing considering Stackhousesigned a long-term deal with Vanderbilt back in April and declared he was ready to but the Knicks would be wise to at least gauge his interest.David BlattYes, Blattbecame a punching bag with the LeBron James-led Cavs despite a trip to the NBA Finals in 2015 and a 30-11 record before his firing in 2016. The jokes about Blatt's tenure in Cleveland conveniently ignore the fact thathe was brought in to coach for a franchise in the middle of a rebuild prior to James' decision to come home, not one with championship aspirations. The Knicks definitely fit into the former category.Blatt could earn a call because of his relationship with Mills, who played with Blatt at Princeton from 1978-1981."Steve has tried to hire Blatt twice,"one Knicks source told in Morgan Burnett Jersey 2018. "He really likes him as a coach. The question is will Steve hire him now? If it'sBlatt, that's Steve's choice. I don't know if he'd want to put himself out there."The biggest hurdle here is Blatt's health status. He stepped down as coach of Greek club Olympiakosin October two months after . He initially planned to continue coaching, but it would be completely understandable if the 60-year-old chooses retirement rather than the stre s that comes with this position.Kenny SmithThe TNT analyst is way behind other targets in terms of coaching experience, but Smith confirmed that he did in 2018. He is clearly intrigued by the idea of being an NBA coach."The 18 years that I've been on TNT haveprepared me for a lot of opportunities, and coaching being one of them," Smith said on . "The preparation and the reservoir of information, relationships, fromplayers to everything. Players to coaches to a sistant coaches, from being in college basketball, doing the Final Four, AAU teams every element I've covered has kind of prepared me for more direction... Coaching is definitely on the aspiration list."This isn' Duke Johnson Jersey t a ready-made winner falling in Smith's lap, so he would really have to consider if he is prepared to leave one of the best gigs in basketball. He shouldn't be at the top of New York's list, but don't be surprised if he lands another interview.
