The Knicks will enter next season with massive expectations — and a coach who has repeatedly failed to meet them.

One month after ending Tom Thibodeau’s five-year run — by far the franchise’s most successful stretch of the century — the Knicks are expected to replace him with Mike Brown, marking his fifth time being hired as an NBA head coach.

Brown, 55, most recently spent parts of three seasons in Sacramento, where he ended the Kings’ 17-year playoff drought in his first year with the team, but was fired in December, 31 games into the season.

Though Brown, a two-time Coach of the Year recipient, has earned four championship rings as an assistant beside Gregg Popovich (San Antonio) and Steve Kerr (Golden State), his only trip to the Finals as a head coach came in 2007, when the Cavaliers were swept by the Spurs.
