School of hard knocks for Sixers

Looks like the Ed Snider might be getting ready to once again do what he does best – fire a coach.

Snider is the head honcho at Comcast-Spectacor. They own both the Flyers and Sixers. The Flyers, no strangers to the coaching merry-go-round, have already dispatched one coach this year, replacing John Stephens with Peter Laviolette. Now it looks like the Sixers, who seem to be perpetually in search of a coach, are about to do the same.

Published reports indicate Comcast-Spectacor is growing increasingly frustrated with the disaster that is the Sixers season. Coach Eddie Jordan certainly hasn’t helped himself by burying his team after games in recent weeks. Last night he benched both Elton Brand and Andrew Iguodala, the two faces the franchise wants to build around, for the fourth quarter.

Snider may be ready to drop the ax on Jordan.

While he’s at it, why not lose all the Eds. He could add General Manager Ed Stefanski, the Drexel Hill native who has put together this debacle, to the list.

And for his finishing touch, maybe Snider would consider turning the reins of the team over to someone else.

Call it the Ed-ucation of Sixers fans.
