Detroit Pistons Fire Monty Williams After One Season

Williams departs with $65 million owed, as Detroit begins search for new head coach following dismal 14-68 season.

Williams' firing comes just one year into a record six-year, $78.5 million contract.
Detroit tied an NBA record with a 28-game losing streak during Williams' tenure.
New team president Trajan Langdon will lead the search for Williams' replacement.
Potential candidates include Sean Sweeney, Micah Nori, James Borrego, and J.B. Bickerstaff.
Williams was reportedly blindsided by the decision, having recently discussed future plans with Langdon.
