Steve Clifford Stepping Down As Head Coach Of The Hornets

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Charlotte Hornets will begin their head coach search earlier than expected after it’s been learned Steve Clifford is done coaching the team.

While the organization was open to the idea of him returning as coach next season, Clifford cited he didn’t have the commitment to return as head coach.

Jeff Peterson and co-owners Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin will transition the 62-year-old to a front-office position.

After coaching the Orlando Magic for three seasons, Clifford returned to the Hornets in 2022.
