Ty Lue Named Head Coach of the LA Clippers!

Ty Lue has agreed to terms on a contract to become the next head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers. The team has signed Lue to a five-year deal that promotes the one-time assistant coach.

We first reported Lue was the front runner back on October 3rd, after it was reported his interview went extremely well, and obviously that was the case. The Clips interviewed a number of qualified applicants, however, landed on Lue as their guy.

Sources: The Los Angeles Clippers are hiring Ty Lue to be their next head coach -- with Chauncey Billups as a lead assistant.

Lue and Chauncey Billups will be tasked with trying to do what they can to increase the chemistry of their team, as the Clippers couldn't get on the same page last season. The roster is also expected to change in the coming weeks as trade rumors have been flying surrounding Lou Williams and Paul George.

Doc Rivers out, Lue and Billups in. Let's see if these coaches can cut it for the Clips because they're running out of people to blame.
