Possibly the worst NBA opening night outcome for the New Orleans Pelicans just happened under the leadership and coaching of 1st-time head coach Willie Green.
The Smoothie King Center is going to be empty this year with this team and this coach. Zion is out. The depth chart is thin. And it doesn’t look like Willie Green is qualified to be a head coach.

Fire Willie Green? This year’s season opener for the New Orleans Pelicans was historic, but for reasons that may cost New Orleans Pelicans Head Coach Willie Green His Job.
Is HC Willie Green in trouble? The Pelicans lost their 2021-2022 season opener, at home, to the short-handed Philadelphia 76’ers buy 20 points. The product on the court looked even worse than the final score reflected.
Short on patience, the New Orleans Pelicans fans are already talking about firing new head coach Willie Green after his very first regular season game.
Is Willie Green on the hot seat in New Orleans?
Should NBA fans go easier on Willie Green? Is Willie Green just a poor fit in New Orleans and possible a bad head coach? Is Willie Green a good coach?
I would love to chat about all these questions so please leave a comment! Let’s talk Pelicans Basketball.
