Taylor Jenkins is officially the newest head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks and he has a big task ahead of him. 

The Bucks finished in a disappointing 11th place spot in the Eastern Conference this season, missing the playoff for the first time in 10 seasons.

The season was rife with tension around both the team's poor performance and ongoing drama with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who dealt with a multitude of injuries this past season and also loudly criticized the team to the point that it sparked trade rumors.

It now falls to Jenkins to right the ship and bring stability to the chaos, which is not an easy task. The Bucks do have talent in players like Antetokounmpo, Kyle Kuzma and Ryan Rollins, but overall the team trends toward the younger and more inexperienced side of things. 

Developing players is an area where Jenkins has excelled in the past, but the Bucks as a whole have a long way to go to get back to a competitive place in the NBA and the pressures of winning aren't the only issues that Jenkins will face. 

He'll also have the burden of leading the Bucks in a relatively small market in Milwaukee, which comes with it's own disadvantages. Jenkins will at least be familiar with that environment, as he was an assistant coach with the Bucks from 2018-19, but it's still a situation that makes his job that much more difficult.

"Obviously someone who's familiar with the franchise, familiar with what we're looking for, familiar with what we're trying to do and where we're headed... It's not an easy job. It's a championship team with aspirations of winning a championship in a small market, so that's already tough," Bobby Portis said (via RunItBackFDTV). 

When it comes to small market teams like Milwaukee, the monetary issues of acquiring big names or retaining growing talent comes second to the pressure of the amount of eyes that will be on the franchise and Jenkins' performance. 

Milwaukee fans are a passionate bunch, something Antetokounmpo felt when he described how many fans would approach him in public and ask him to stay with the team as trade rumors swirled, and that passion also comes with a certain demand for success from their team, especially considering the Bucks' recent history.

Jenkins will have to navigate these fan expectations along with the potential financial restrictions that could come into play with roster construction, all while trying to revive the Bucks after the worst season in recent memory.
