Doug Collins is your new Sixers coach

The Sixers have dipped into their past in the hiring of their new coach: according to multiple reports, former Sixer Doug Collins will be heading up the team next season. While Collins doesn't exactly have the greatest coaching pedigree (zero NBA Titles, 15-23 career playoff record), he will at least bring plenty of experience and be a respected voice in the locker room.

Collins, who played 8 seasons for the Sixers back in the 70's, has coached the Bulls, Pistons and Wizards in his career. He isn't the best coach out there as he has never led a team to the NBA Finals and he's been away from the bench since 2003; still, Collins has to be looked at as an upgrade over Eddie Jordan, which is all that matters. Of course, all Collins really has to do is make sure that Evan Turner develops into the star we all think he is going to be and he will be considered a good hire.
