Detroit Pistons Fire Head Coach Monty Williams After Disappointing Season
The Detroit Pistons have fired head coach Monty Williams after a dismal 14-68 season, marking the end of his tenure just one year into a six-year, $78.5 million contract. Team owner Tom Gores made the final decision, citing the need for a new direction following the team's historically poor performance, which included a 28-game losing streak. The firing comes amidst a broader organizational overhaul, including the hiring of Trajan Langdon as President of Basketball Operations and Fred Vinson to the coaching staff. Despite Williams’ previous success, including a trip to the NBA Finals with the Phoenix Suns and being named NBA Coach of the Year, the Pistons decided to absorb the $65 million remaining on his contract. The move signals a fresh start for the Pistons as they look to develop their young core and find a new head coach.
