]]> With the news that Larry Brown has decided to leave the Charlotte Bobcats, it’s time to check out what other coaches could be ousted during the remainder of the season.  Back in mid-September we ran our views on which coaches were relatively safe and which were not.  Shortly after publishing it, one of our top picks to get fired, Don Nelson, unsurprisingly was let go.  While we put Larry Brown under 95% Bulletproof, we hadn’t thought of his very obvious past in which he always gets frustrated and leaves a job.  The ‘Cats have said that Brown’s departure was a mutual decision, and this is kinda one of those rare instances where I believe that rhetoric.  Anyway, let’s get on to the top coaches who might want to be making sure their resumes are updated:
