Only after next year he will get fired if Rockets don't make playoffs. His strong point is defense and the isolation/spacing offense. If both don't work, which is clearly seen this season, he has to go.
Rudy wont get "fired" ever. He will be asked to take a front office job or he will publically resign (after some private persuasion). There will never be a normal "firing". That's just not how Rockets upper management does things. And it will be this summer if we finish 10th or lower in the WC for the current season.
We can't put all of the "guities" on Rudy, it's unfair. Every Rockets should be blamed for their bad performance, especially for Mobley and SF. Ming isn't a efficient offensive weapon so far. Obviously, Ming needs enhancing on his strength much more than now.
Rudy needs to go... The last time he had any control of this team, The only Bush in office was Monica.
