Although that may happen - and it will be a miracle if he's here past this weekend - let's make sure we recognize that Jordan and general manager Ed Stefanski aren't the only ones who are responsible for this mess.
Make sure to include the man who essentially was responsible for hiring them both: Peter A. Luukko, the president and chief operating officer of Comcast-Spectacor, the Sixers' parent company.
"Oh, absolutely," Luukko said during last night's game when asked if he should shoulder some responsibility for the team's dismal season: The Sixers are 23-41 after last night's 102-87 loss. "Of course, I own some accountability in all of this. We all do.
"Any time you're not living up to expectations, when you're having the kind of disappointing season we are having, there's no place to run or hide. And if you're about winning, you shouldn't want to hide. You've got to face the problem head-on, address what the real issues are - and be willing to do whatever it takes to fix the problem. And I do mean whatever it takes."
According to sources, Luukko has already told Stefanski he's in trouble, something Luukko refused to confirm or deny. And as reported in yesterday's Inquirer, the decision already has been made about Jordan, possibly so Stefanski can save himself.
There will be a new coach for the Sixers next season. The only question appears to be whether someone will replace Jordan by this weekend.
Jordan is done because of the team's record and because his much-heralded Princeton offense has produced putrid results with this group of players. Mainly, he is done because Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand - the so-called stars of this crew - have been anything but and essentially have let it be known that their subpar production is a direct result of Jordan's system. Not their skills.
