Demand Grows For Caitlin Clark’s WNBA Coach’s Removal After Fever Loss

Equipped with two of the top young talents in the WNBA, the Indiana Fever still has no answers after a 0-2 start to the 2024 season.

They played a rematch Saturday of Thursday night’s contest against the New York Liberty which resulted in a nearly 40-point loss earlier in the week. Even though they have the No. 1 overall draft selection in Caitlin Clark and the reigning rookie of the year in Aliyah Boston, Saturday ended up being a near repeat of what’s starting out as a disappointing start to the schedule.

However, much of the blame isn’t heading in the direction of the team’s players, but more so the one leading them in head coach Christie Sides. Well before the game ended, fans took to X to express their frustration with the second-year head coach.

“Christie Sides is so unfit for her job as Head Coach of the Indiana Fever it’s actually insane,” Paula Baddyosa posted on X.

Several fans are upset with some of the coaching decisions Sides made throughout the game.

“Takeaways from this game so far @ChristieSides. Let Caitlin Clark be the only PG. Take Kelsey Mitchell out. What is up with Boston? She’s not shooting well, not rebounding or defending. Also, Fire Christie Sides and put someone in there that wants to win!” Jerrett Franklin wrote.

“Get Nalyssa smith OFF THE COURT PLEASE christie sides. She’s garbage,” another fan wrote about her personnel decisions.

Hassan de Casablanca believes Clark’s talent is wasted with this group saying, “This Fever team is terrible. Christie Sides isn’t gonna survive this. Caitlin is a Bugatti surrounded by Buick Sabers.”

Eric The Red says Sides deserves all the blame writing, “If they don’t fire Christie Sides, develop an offensive scheme and substitution pattern, they’re not gonna draw the fans that they should. No one wants to watch a losing team that woefully mismanaged by the coach.”

 

The halftime score status fielded a lot of comments for Sides to be removed as head coach.

Sides is now 0-3 in her second season with the Fever following the 80-91 loss. It’s unclear how much time she has left to prove she is still the best option to run this team, but several fans are already starting to turn on her.

Sports personality Christopher “Mad Dog” Russo didn’t hold back when expressing his disdain for Tom Brady’s recent Netflix roast. Russo, known for his candid opinions, lambasted the event on ESPN’s “First Take,” criticizing everything from the comedians involved to the Patriots icons on stage.

“This was the worst piece of garbage I’ve seen in a long period of time,” Russo declared. He specifically called out Bob Kraft, suggesting the Patriots owner should be relaxing at home instead of attending such events.
