Is Eddie Jordan The Answer? I Think Not

Well it's a new off-season in Philadelphia for the Sixers which means one thing: a new head coach. Over the past six seasons, the 76ers have had a startling six head coaches and three since the beginning of last season. Clearly, none have worked so far. Maurice Cheeks seemed OK until he flubbed the start of last season. Tony DiLeo was a front office guy trying to coach an NBA team. Not good. So after a season of coaching misery and a quick exit from the NBA playoffs at the hand of the Orlando Magic, the Sixers went out to search for a knight in shining armor to guide their team. They needed a coach with a great reputation, one that would restore a team that reached the 2001 NBA Finals to greatness. That coach would be....Eddie Jordan. With a career NBA coaching record of 230-288 (.444 winning percentage), Jordan does not seem to be that knight in shining armor. Rather, he seems like that pageboy wearing the rusty chestplate. The Sixers have been notoriously bad in the playoffs, not winning a playoff series since 2003. With a playoff record of 8-18 and having won only one playoff series in his career (2005), Jordan doesn't seem to have a solution for this directionless Sixers team. A Sixers fan can only hope for a miracle...
