There are new rumors floating around that Phoenix coach Terry Porter will be fired today, and there is also speculation he has already been fired.  Peter Vecsey initially reported this in the NY Post, with Steve Kerr taking over as head coach.  Numerous sources have climbed onto this now.

Above is the link to a Phoenix area news story that refutes the report.

Kerr is denying this, but as the saying goes, "you can't unring that bell."

So does that make Steve Kerr the new Kevin McHale?

To help this team Kerr may need to suit up.

Fire Kerr, keep Porter.  Kerr has made a royal mess out of the Suns.

If Kerr had put a great team that played well under another coach, then yeah, fire Porter.  But Kerr is the one that put that team together and they didn't play well under the previous coach, so why does the coach have to take the fall in that situation?
