Knicks Fire Thibs! Clock’s Ticking: Who’s Really on Trial in NYC?
Manage episode 486763694 series 3647463
Summary:
After leading the Knicks to a 50-win season and the Eastern Conference Finals, Tom Thibodeau is out. But was it a basketball decision—or the first sign of front office panic? On this episode of Front Runner Podcast Collective, Vince and Soraya unpack the real reasons behind the firing, the Brunson loyalty statement that set NBA Twitter on fire, and why MSG’s identity crisis is bigger than one coach. This isn’t about X’s and O’s—it’s about optics, ownership, and expectations in Gotham. FRPC crew digs deeper into the real reasons behind the coaching shake-up—like the invisible war between player development and playoff rotations. Was Deuce McBride iced out? Did the front office demand more usage for Tyler Kolek and Dadiet just to be ignored? FRPC explores the ripple effects across the organization—from Jalen Brunson’s influence on the next hire, to how the front office must define what kind of team this really is. Player-first or system-driven?
