What is it going to take for UM to fire DC? You practically cannot change the whole roster so is the next logical move to change the coaching given the poor decision making by DC?

Will Masai fire Casey ?

I think they should wait at least a month into the season to do this kind of things. Who knows what's going on in the locker room? Casey probably know things we don't, afterall he's the head coach. Maybe the approach is to make JV take full confidence before throwing him on the court full time. As I see it, JV is still getting better, each and every day and game.
It's only 5 games in.

I'm trying to imagine a scenario where DC still has the job for the year despite being unimpressive as a head coach.

So many good ones on the market that Masai could consider.

Honestly, unless you can bring in a SVG level coach, it's pointless to do it. Who you going to hire in-season? Patrick Ewing? No established coach is going to join this team unless they can see a silver lining. After the season, after we've dismantled this roster and have a young stud from the draft to pair with JV, then we might actually be an attractive coaching option. We could offer a boat load of cash, a young stud (Wiggins, Smart, Gordon, etc) to work with, as well as JV and likely some interesting role pieces (doubt that we'll move Fields, Stone, Ross).Heir, Prince of Cambridge

He coached D-League to championship.
He is familiar with coaching in NBA rules.... obviously talent much different.
Every great new, young coach needs an opportunity to start somewhere.
If he fails, no biggie - can't be worse than now, can it? If he succeeds, great.

As much as I don't think Casey is a championship calibre head coach (or even an NBA calibre head coach), I just don't see what a coaching change will do.
If your trying to win, I agree w/ Axel. Unless you've got a mult-year deal with Jerry Sloan, what's the point? Casey was coming off a championship with Dallas, had shown some positives when he was coach of the T-Wolves. When the T-Wolves fired him because they weren't living up to expectations, the were pretty much .500, after he got the axe they were terrible. In hindsight, the under performance of the T-Wolves, was actually pretty decent performance based on the TALENT on that team.
Even if you got Sloan to agree to come out of retirement would the Raps get home court advantage in the playoffs? I don't think so. If you bring in someone with no head coaching experience the best you can hope for is to squeak into the playoffs, but you have that chance with Casey.
If you are pro-tank, all you have to do is get rid of lowry, and this team may not win another game. You can do that with Casey calling the shots as well.
As much as it is super annoying that JV isn't getting more minutes... he should be getting 30-35 not 20-25, I don't think Casey is hindering his overall development.
To me it still comes down to the talent on the roster NOT the coach on the bench. MU is still in his wait and see approach, and he'll still there until probably mid december (as other posters have alluded to).
I don't see a coaching change until after a roster shake up, and probably not even then.
That said, Casey will not be the head coach next year, when we have firmly decided on where we are with the franchise.
All that said, if for some reason MU is able to ink a multi-year deal with Jackson or Sloan, then by all means fire Casey, but upgrading the HC position isn't going to do much unless the talent is upgraded as well."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014
