The Los Angeles Lakers have fired head coach Mike Brown after a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, according to multiple reports.

This was Brown's second season in LA. The Lakers finished with a 41-25 record last season.

Reports started to swirl on Friday morning that if the Lakers didn't perform well during their upcoming six-game homestand, that Brown's job would be in jeopardy. Turns out, it already was.

Brown, who previously coach the Cleveland Cavaliers for five seasons, replaced Phil Jackson when the legendary coach retired.

Do you think Brown got a fair chance as a head coach for the L.A Lakers?

Mike Brown isn't Phil Jackson and this Lakers team isn't doing well. No chemistry and too much star power will bring them down in the long run. Plus the hopes for Dwight Howard were way too high and did not came to.

@Rewmac; i totally agree with you 100%; but did the Lakers get rid of Brown because they heard Phil wanted to coach the team again? huh
cheers

That's the difference between an LA and soooo many other sports teams...Lakers identify problems and deal with it, not toy around with it for 2-3 seasons.
