Folks should keep in mind this will be the third new coach for the team within the last three years.

With that said, say the Celtics front office fires Mazzulla and brings in another head coach; what will the expectations be for the next head coach so they will keep their job? Will the next head coach have to get to the Finals? Win a championship?

To be clear, I'm not a Celtics fan, so I don't care that deeply, but I think setting a standard for a first year head coach to get fired in his first year for not getting to the Finals is a bit extreme and more of a restart than folks here realize. The dude clearly had his faults, but firing Mazzulla feels a bit extreme.

Clearly, I could be wrong in my assessment.
