The Other Jordan Fired from the Wizards

The Washington Wizards did what people have been asking for yearsdays. When will Ernie Grunfeld fire Eddie Jordan. That day has finally come. After a 1-10 start, the team had enough. The big question is, was it really Jordan's fault?

The Wizards have played this season so far without star Gilbert Arenas and has also missed the work of Brendan Haywood. The great coaches motivate their team to wins when injuries go down. Last season the Wizards were also without Arenas for large parts of the end of the season, yet still made the playoffs. I'm wondering how 11 games in on a 82-game season is really enough to decide. But Jordan was coach before Grunfeld took over the team. That along with not getting out of the first round in recent years didn't help.

It's interesting that the Wizards make this move about a year after the Capitals fired their coach and promoted Bruce Boudreau. The Wiz looking for some Captial Magic? I don't know if Ed Tapscott, interim Wizards coach, has the powers in him.
