I wouldn't go so far as saying horrible! He has the winningiest record than any coach over the last three seasons. I know the argument will be that it's because of Lebron. If that is the argument, then just how good is Phil Jackson? Jackson has won championships? Or coaching teams with multiple superstars on a roster has won championships? Jackson is a great coach, but he only won championships with Michael had two other superstars or Kobe with two other superstars. He did not win championships in the years that Kobe lost Shaq or MJ left the Bulls. Though his teams still won, they did not win championships. Would that mean he was a horrible coach because he didn't win championships those years?

Brown should have done more with what he had this season, but things obviously didn't fall in-place for him or anyone related to the Cavs.

He isn't a bad coach, but he isn't the best in the business either.
