Jeremy: Adding Glen Taylor to the List

It's possible that the readers our there see me as a bit of a doom and gloom kind of fellow.
That's fine.
Is there some way that we can fire Glen Taylor? I realize that he's the owner of the Wolves, so he doesn't exactly have a boss, but is there some way that we can get rid of him? Vote him off the island? Something?
This from Sid's column today:
"Regardless of whether or not the Wolves make the playoffs, Randy Wittman will definitely be back as head coach next season, according to team owner Glen Taylor.
Taylor said he is not in the mood to change coaches for a while.
'Randy had a three-year contract as an assistant coach to assist [fired coach Dwane] Casey when he came back from Orlando,' Taylor said. 'I redid his contract, paying him a bonus now that he is a head coach.'"
I sincerely hope that "Taylor said he is not in the mood to change coaches for a while," is Sid adding his own scotch-laden spin on things, and not what Taylor actually said, because if this was a literal quote from Taylor, then go ahead and board up the franchise.
Please do not take this to mean that I don't like Randy Whitman. Based on the length of time that he's been at the helm, how could he possibly be judged as a head coach, especially considering what he has inherited?
But for Taylor to just give Whit the keys to the castle and not even be considering or evaluating what the coach is doing or what other options there are for this club... well that's just foolish.
