Another coach bites the dust. This time it is happened in New Orleans.

After only one season as head coach of the New Orleans Hornets, Tim Floyd was fired today.

With Terry Stotts fired by the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, five NBA coaches -- all in the Eastern Conference -- have lost their jobs since the regular season ended less than a month ago. Boston (Doc Rivers) and Philadelphia (Jim O'Brien) have hired replacements; Toronto is still looking for a new coach.

Floyd was hired by New Orleans last summer with the expectation of guiding the Hornets deep into the playoffs in the team's last year in the East before switching to the tougher Western Conference."

With this season in the books, Floyd's career NBA coaching record is 93-235.
