Doc Rivers Is Out As LA Clippers Head Coach 

After blowing a 3-1 lead to the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Clippers have fired their head coach, Doc Rivers.

Rivers had been with the team for seven seasons, but his history of playoff collapses extend far beyond this season. In fact, for the third time in his head coaching career, Rivers’ team blew a 3-1 lead.

But to make matters even worse, the Clippers held a double-digit lead in all three games before ultimately heading home after Game 7.

“Thank you, Clipper Nation for allowing me to be your coach and for all your support in helping make this a winning franchise,” Rivers said in a statement. “When I took this job, my goals were to make this a winning basketball program, a free agent destination, and bring a championship to this organization. While I was able to accomplish most of my goals, I won’t be able to see them all through. Though it was a disappointing ending to our season, you are right there, and I know what this team is capable of accomplishing with your support. Thank you to all the players, coaches, and staff for helping us get here. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. We went through a lot, and I am grateful for my time here.”

Who should be the next head coach for the Clippers?
