Another Columnist Turning on Colangelo's Omnishambles

UPDATE: Hey, great to see TSN's Gareth Wheeler really lambasting Colangelo for his failures (HT: Mango Kid). At last, someone holding the GM responsible and not accepting lame excuses.

Colangelo, Gheradini, Embry, and Co. have done nothing to make this a winning org. Yet have cushy jobs. Joke. @dinonationblog @wolstatsun

Colangelo should not be the guy. Record is terrible. Combined 85 games under .500 last 4+ seasons. Unacceptable. @yyzsportsmedia

Bar set so low I was asked who would do a better job than Colangelo. 85 gms below .500 in 4+ years. Question is who could do worse. #Raptors

ORIGINAL: The Toronto Star's Brian Cox isn't exactly calling for Bryan Colangelo to be fired in his latest column, but he's coming close. At the very least, he thinks the GM should be getting more heat for producing so much ineptitude over seven seasons.

Baby steps, Mr. Cox, baby steps. First Andy Phillips at the CBC, now Cox. Slowly the media is coming around to the idea that Colangelo needs to be held accountable for his repeated omnishamble monstrosities.

My favorite non-argument against firing Colangelo: "Who else could replace him?" Yeah, kind of like those Wall Street bankers who complained about their huge salaries, saying without earning those ungodly sums, the big financial houses could not hire the best and the brightest. The thing is, the "best and brightest" of Wall Street devastated the world economy and melted down the financial industry. If that's what the best and brightest can do, I'll gladly take my chances with the mediocre and dim.

I mean, the Raptors are already a mess. What's the worst that a no-name replacement is going to do? Sign mediocre players for huge contracts? Give away valuable draft picks? Oh yeah, Colangelo is already doing that.

Fire Colangelo! End the Omnishambles!
