That has to be an all time record for firings in that short a period of time in all of organized sports history.

On September 22, 1985, while at a hotel bar in Baltimore, Maryland, Martin fought one of his pitchers, Ed Whitson, who was 4 inches (100 mm) taller and 40 pounds (18 kg) heavier. Martin suffered a broken arm, bruises, and cuts, while Whitson had a broken rib and a split lip.[7] He was fired after the 1985 season.
the problem with Mike Brown is he is all about defense in a scoring league now, he doesnt lean on his asst coaches enough or hire a true offensive guy to help him coach. terrible motivator as well, however he is a smart guy.
on the other end of the spectrum you have Mike D'Antoni, who absolutely refuses to teach team defense both men unemployed
Under Mike Brown, the Lakers were shitty at defense. They were actually ranked high during 'Antoni (see no D there) time. Mike Brown got carried by having Lebron, he's a piss poor coach. As far as d'Antoni's no defense? To be honest he goes over it a ton, and his teams are always in the middle of the pack where with the pace they play at they should probably be at the bottom. Both of them get misconceptions about them (d'Antoni isn't nearly as bad at defense as people say and Mike Brown is shitty at everything not just offense.)
