I sure hope so. He should have been canned by now IMHO.
Thoughts?

I'm gonna say no. I've suspected for a while now that Dumars is under directive from Davidson: "No more buyout/firing coaches".
I say this because each off-season Dumars starts doing subtle things to try and address coaching deficiencies. He says all the right things, but if you look closely you see Dumars recognizes the problems in Flip's coaching. and if he recognizes them why not can him? I say its because Carlisle and Brown were both fired (technically), Davidson aint buying out anyone else.

Bill Davidson can't stop Joe D from canning Flip if they choke this early. It's one thing to lose in the conference finals. All teams are good enough to win at that point. But you cannot play like they did in the regular season, and then lose in the 1st round to a sub .500 team with way less talent and experience.
If they do lose any time before deep into the conference finals, I fully expect Flip and at least 1 of the core starters gone.

Flip is basically a one and done coach. He'd do well in an NCAA tourney I think. He's at times very good at setting up an initial gameplan, but doesn't really understand the game in a way to win tough 7 game series'. The moment someone really studies the team and comes up with a way to neutralize the Pistons' strengths, make a real adjustment, Flip is done. He randomly throws different things out there and hopes one will produce positive things.
