LOL that is 1 salty press release about a guy that won 65% of his games but probably to be expected from the organization that brought you "players don't win championships, organizations win championships" in regard to Michael Jordan

Below 500 in the playoffs does not get it done in Chicago, especially playing in the East. When you consistently clash with upper management, the playoff record alone is justification for them to bounce you.

I realize his years in Chicago coincided with Lebron's apex, and that he dealt with some injury woes...but this last series against Cleveland spelled his end. Specifically the lackluster effort in game 6. Great coach but he had to go after that IMO.

 

[CHOPTALK]

I hope we don't get him

HAHAH

file this under the dumbest decision in sports for 2015...

mind blowing. he'd take that team to the next level without a doubt...

 

[Defying]

there are about 20 NBA coaches that are a little more worried about their job security after reading this

I think Pete Carroll might have something to say about that (re dumbest decision)

lol

fine- top 5..


As a Bulls Hater - I'm happy for this..

Maybe if Cavs lose the Finals - Cleveland can get rid of Blantt, Black, Bsomething-slightly retarded coach.. and get Thibs.

He is a great defensive coach. Probably the best in the league but he needs to learn how to manage player minutes and rotations better. Winning 5 more games in the regular season isn't worth much if you're running players into the ground.

That being said, I don't think the Bulls would've won 1 more playoff game than they did with a different coach over the last 5 years. Unless that coach was Popovich or something.

What? He'd be for comic material. All he needs is an assistant named Budro.

Will the next coach be Hoiberg or Gentry?

Everyone seems to think Hoiberg has it locked up from what I read.

If Hoiberg tries to run his Iowa State offense in Chicago the Bulls are never going to win a champioship IMO.

if there ever was a "college" scheme that wouldn't work int he NBA.. I don't think his players even have positions.. that would be a disaster...

 

[Greenbacks]

Knicks should hire this guy.....Record speaks for his success.

Hoiberg from what I'm hearing on the radio here.
