Comcast-Spectacor is ready to fire 76ers coach Eddie Jordan, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.

Several other sources also indicated that the organization will "seriously evaluate" Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski, who hired Jordan less than a year ago.

One of these sources indicated that the company had considered terminating Jordan earlier, but likely was "deterred" by the early-season firing of former Flyers coach John Stevens.

Comcast-Spectacor owns both franchises.

These sources indicated that Jordan could be fired before this season ends - if it becomes obvious he has lost the team - but more likely after the final game of this dismal season.

Eddie getting fired is a given. I'm not so sure about Stefanski.

Well, judging from the stuff that's been said in that article and RealGM..Ed Snider is pretty pissed.

I don't think anyone in that franchise is untouchable at this point.


Just keep DiLeo as GM.

Uh....if it becomes obvious he has lost the team? What else exactly needs to happen for that to become obvious? They are losing almost every game (and are not even really competitive in most of them anymore...at least they played lots of close games earlier on). None of the players give a [expletive] anymore. There is always at least one war going on between him and a player through the media. So yeah, somebody tell me when it becomes "obvious" enough.
