15. Dave Joerger, Sacramento Kings

Perhaps somewhat unfairly, Dave Joerger was forced to fall on the sword for the Memphis Grizzlies this season. Either that, or the franchise believed that it was in the best interest of both parties to move on.

Either way, no matter how you digest it, I don’t think anyone will argue that Joerger was a bad coach. That simply wasn’t the case. He succeeded with the Grizzlies. If anything, the team just hit their ceiling with that roster.

Joerger now takes on the challenge that the Sacramento Kings have been during the last few seasons. Question is, will he be the exception?

Since the 2012 NBA season, the Kings have had five different coaches. Woof.
