Eddie Jordan fired after one season

Hey, don't blame him. The GM should have went out and got decent players instead of wasting millions on thug-wanna-be Allen Iverson.

Jordan’s imminent dismissal was reported in The Inquirer over a month ago.

Comcast-Spectacor will be obligated to pay Jordan for two more seasons, or approximately $6 million, through the 2011-2012 season; On June 1, 2009, Jordan signed a four-year contract, the final season of which was a team option.

Sixers President and General Manager Ed Stefanski, who executed the three-week coaching search that resulted in Jordan’s hiring, is scheduled to make the announcement.

According to a source close to Stefanski, as of Wednesday he was continuing in his same capacity and had been given no indication he would be removed from that role.

Jordan’s firing marks the conclusion of a turbulent season, one in which Jordan never settled on a set player rotation and made a number of seemingly bizarre in-game moves and post-game comments.

Watching the post-game press conferences of Jordan was like watching his gradual, season-long undoing.

In October, Jordan came to the podium in a suit coat and tie, his put-together appearance reflecting what was still a hopeful, optimistic group. But with each passing week, Jordan’s tie became looser, the top button of his shirt became unbuttoned, and occasionally he went without a suit coat all together.

Jordan’s eyes grew dark circles around them and he often stopped offering an opening remark, saying only, “Go ahead”, and then waiting for the inevitable questions about another inevitable loss.
