The Phoenix Suns have a lot of problems, but Jeff Hornacek wasn't one of them.
That's the consensus from our poll and feedback from fans via Twitter in the hours that followed the Suns' Monday announcement that they had fired Hornacek as head coach.
With over 400 votes counted, a slight majority says the Suns should NOT have fired coach Jeff Hornacek. pic.twitter.com/tzYyHuI7kD

So... if Hornacek isn't the problem with the struggling Phoenix Suns, who or what is?
Most of you said the problem begins and ends with owner Robert Sarver.

@abc15sports #Suns problems start at top, Robert Sarver is lost. Blanks & Babby hires were awful & there's no direction/plan. #Dumpsterfire

@abc15sports @abc15 Sarver...the problems begin and end with Sarver..

@abc15sports @abc15 Sarver and his need to control what he doesn't understand. Go back to banking. Leave B-Ball to B-Ball people.

@abc15sports Sarver. 100%. What I wouldn't give to have Jerry Colangelo back in charge. And that guy traded Charles Barkley.

Others said the Suns have been hurt by poor trades and free-agent moves by general manager Ryan McDonough.

@abc15sports Personally i was confused and saddened when we traded/let go Isaiah Thomas and Gerald Green, that was instant offense. #Suns

@abc15sports Few moves have worked, clearly trades need to happen. Keep developing our younger players. Its a tricky, tough season. #Suns

@abc15sports @abc15 @Suns need to change up the management. Clean house and fill em with experienced executives?

Regardless of where the real problem lies, this fan just wants what every Suns fan wants: a winning team they can be proud of.
@abc15sports I've been through it all since I was 5. I truly don't know anymore all I know is somethings gotta give! #GoSuns #WeArePHX ?
