If the ownership realized today that the team was not properly built for the title expectations and decided to fire the GM, the fault is at least 50-50, but firing the coach now, barring absurd fights, is a suicide move: no coach can make the a team improve THAT much that a low PO seed can win the ring and you’re destined to change 3 coaches in the next 2 years, losing your star players too.
