The Milwaukee Bucks have swiftly appointed Taylor Jenkins as their new head coach, filling the vacancy left by Doc Rivers, who stepped down on April 13. Jenkins, who previously led the Memphis Grizzlies from 2019 to 2025, achieved three postseason appearances during his tenure but did not advance beyond the second round. His familiarity with the Bucks, having served as an assistant coach in the 2018-19 season, could be beneficial as he works with star player Giannis Antetokounmpo. Following the announcement, fans expressed a mix of excitement and skepticism about Jenkins' potential impact, with some humorously predicting he might be fired by the All-Star break. The Bucks hope Jenkins can turn around their fortunes after a disappointing 32-50 finish in the 2025-26 season.
