Pacers' coach Jim O'Brien isn't worried about getting fired despite the team's dismal record and the firing of six NBA coaches.

"Does it concern me? Frankly, it does not," O'Brien said. "When I came on board here, (Pacers president) Larry (Bird) hired me and told me the first couple of years were going to be pretty difficult."

The Pacers, who have lost several games they were in position to win, are in a rebuilding mode having brought in seven new players this offseason.

"I didn't come in here and have Larry say, 'I'm expecting you to win 50 games.' He said that we have a lot of work to do," O'Brien said. "We changed our whole team around this year, and we had seven new players. We weren't sure what we had."
