Adrian Griffin was fired from his coaching position with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Between 2008 and 2023, Adrian mainly worked as an assistant coach for several different teams, including the Bucks, the Bulls, and the Toronto Raptors among others. His first stint as head coach only came on June 5, 2023, when he was tapped to lead the Milwaukee Bucks in the upcoming season at the time. Despite having garnered some success as an assistant coach with the Raptors in 2019, this seemingly did not translate to his head coaching.

In terms of his net worth, Sportskeeda reports that he is currently worth approximately $5 million as of 2023. His salary during his time with the Bucks was also reportedly $4 million, though there isn't an official confirmation on this claim.

Despite having coached several wins with the Bucks between 2023 and 2024, many believe that his removal was a long time coming. A report from The Athletic suggests that Adrian had difficulty connecting with his players amid staff shakeups and issues with the team's defensive strategies during games.

He was fired after only four months out of his initial four-year deal with the Bucks.

Shortly after Adrian was fired, he spoke with Bleacher Report and wished the Bucks all the best for the remainder of the season.

"I feel good about the job we did," he told the outlet. "I appreciate my coaching staff for all their hard work. I always wanted to be a head coach in this league. I couldn't have asked for a better roster. ... Hopefully, I get another shot at it, but overall, I'm just thankful."
