Vote: Flip Saunders Fired



Flip Saunders will not coach the Pistons next season.
On Tuesday, the Detroit Pistons parted ways with Flip Saunders, ending a three-year relationship. During his tenure, Saunders led Detroit to three consecutive NBA Eastern Conference finals but was never able to lead the Pistons back to the NBA Finals.

Now that Saunders is out in Detroit, we want SportsNation to weigh in on the state of the Pistons. Was Saunders' firing justified? Would the Pistons have won more NBA titles had Larry Brown remained their coach? Is Detroit a declining power in the NBA? And just who is the best candidate to replace Saunders?

The NBA coaching carousel continues to turn, SportsNation. Vote now and let us know what you think of the most recent coaching change!

  • 1) Should the Pistons have fired Flip Saunders?
  • 2) Larry Brown left the Pistons after the 2004-05 season. If Larry Brown had remained the Pistons' coach, how many more titles would the Pistons have won?
  • 3) Can the Pistons win a NBA title with their current roster?
  • 4) Are the Pistons a declining power in the Eastern Conference?
  • 5) Which of these potential coaching candidates is the best choice to replace Saunders?
  • 6) How would you describe the Pistons' performance under Flip Saunders the past three seasons?
