It looks like Randy Wittman's tenure with the Washington Wizards is finally coming to an end.

According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Wittman is likely to be fired on Thursday, just a day after the regular season concludes. Windhorst stated the following on ESPN 980's The Tony Kornheiser Show on Monday:

“I mean, look, Randy's probably 99 percent certain he's going to be fired on Thursday morning,” Windhorst said. “There were people who legitimately made the case that the Wizards would have finished with the No. 2 record in the East this year and that they had all of the weapons required to go to the Eastern finals and make a run. Granted, they had so many injuries — for a while, I think three-quarters of the way through the season they had the most games missed — but their complete collapse defensively and their inability to execute despite really having a lot of weapons at their disposal was just embarrassing. A lost season, not only because of the [Kevin] Durant thing.”

Entering the season, the Wizards were pegged by many to be the Eastern Conference's second-best team. Instead, they struggled the entire year and spent the entire second half of the season on the outside-looking-in when it pertains to the playoff picture. At 40-41, they will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2012-13 season.

Wittman has coached Washington for the past five seasons and was behind the transformation of the team from a bottom-tier squad into becoming a top-four team in the Eastern Conference.

However, the 2015-16 season was such a disappointment that there really is no argument for Wittman to keep his job. It's time for the franchise to move in a different direction with another coaching staff.
