Bulls may fire Tom Thibodeau soon?

Sounds like the Bulls just want to put an end to all this?

ESPN.com reported earlier Wednesday that the Bulls, unable to generate any interest on the compensation front, are giving increasing consideration to simply firing Thibodeau to bring an end to their highly successful but oft-contentious partnership over the past five seasons.

The Chicago Bulls are giving increasing consideration to firing coach Tom Thibodeau and absorbing the corresponding financial hit, according to league sources.

Still saw that they may wait out the Pelicans, Magic, and Nuggets coaching searches. They need to give it up already.

Another rumor going around is that the Lakers,Wizards could enter the sweepstakes.

Randy Wittman? Byron Scott? Dwayne Casey? Derek Fisher?

With this description, it could be anyone.

I wouldn’t take Sheridan as gospel, but he’s right often enough that I think the report is worth sharing. He’s putting his credibility on the line with this.

Let the speculation begin.

---

Probably he thinks about Thibs. So this is not news...
Typical Sheridan news

Thibs in Washington might be interesting...

I don't believe anything Chris Sheridan says.

I can't believe that the Wizards would be rid of Wittman just to bring in Tibs, but then again I am not a Wiz fan, so what do I know about them other than the fact that they have performed well in the playoffs the last two years.

Per Joel Meyers on NBA Radio, there were several players that didn't endorse Thibs in their exit interviews. If you have Sirius, Joel is going to talk about it. It's not good when the players don't want to play for a "Top 5" coach. I hope that he gets nowhere near the Pels organization. #NotAFan

They also said that the Bulls will make a move by Friday (tomorrow)

Yesterday NO Bronco asked why people are good with Van Gundy and not Thibodeau. This is it for me. There's just too much smoke around Thibodeau for me to be comfortable with him. Unfortunately, it doesn't have anything to do with on the court. I could just see it being a dumpster fire level disaster. I don't have that feeling with any other candidate.

I like Thibs, but I just don't think he's top of our list like many reports made it seem like early on.

He's officially fired now according to nba.com

Well Thibodeau has just been fired — so much for a ‘happy’ birthday.

Good move by the Bulls. Lord please no Thibs in Nola. That's all I ask. Thank you.

People acting like Thibs is a bad coach SMH. Dudes a damn good coach just wasnt on the same page as the owner and gm.

Please no. But I guarantee he gets an interview with Dell.

Please get Hoiberg, Dell. You can do it!

Well, I guess due diligence calls for Demps and Loomis to interview Thibodeau. With his credentials and achievements as both an assistant and HC I would want to hear his ideas for the future of AD and the rest of the team. But I would rather Atkinson, JVG or Hoiberg. I just get the feeling he should have had much more success with that group of players, even with the injuries. And I also get the feeling that, despite his success on the court, neither the Bulls players nor the FO are sad to see him go. When a coach wins but his organization does not want to keep him, that is a big red flag.

I can't expect the Bulls players to come out guns blazing endorsing the guy. None of our guys came out publicly and endorsed Monty, and how many players do endorse their coaches? They have a contract with the team, not the coach.

Lol, I worry about our fans sometimes

It's a done deal - http://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story...h-five-seasons

So basically we have our pick between Thibs & JVG (unless Dell prefers Gentry which would surprise me).

I wouldn't be surprised if Dell went away from JVG or Thibs. I think they'll want more control than he'd be willing to give up.

Thibs I could see given how his tenure at Chicago went but ultimately I think what he wants and what he settled for will be different.

He isn't getting that control anywhere except maybe Orlando but Orlando would be an odd choice with NO and supposedly LA in the cards.

What about the part where the Pels players didn't want him here?

Where is this story?

Thibs is the best coach for this team at this present time , I hope this entire coaching search isn't left totally up to Dell if it is were in for a disappointing future . I think good coaches should have say so in their personel

I think good coaches should get along with players for more reasons than just winning...also they shouldn't run their players into the ground every season or so :hihi:

I am probably in the minority on this board but I believe Demps will give up a good deal (but not all) control over personnel decisions to a HC with a good track record, if Demps believes he can work with him, and if the two of them are simpatico on the strategy for the team's short and long term future. Demps knows he needs a deep playoff run to keep his job. And everyone wants to do all they can for Benson to see his NBA franchise win a championship. And what an achievement for Loomis. GM and President of a Super Bowl winner and President of an NBA Champion! I believe the number of people who have achieved that is zero. I know people on this board know Demps personally. In the opinion of someone who has never met him, I do not believe he will let his ego or need for control get in the way of bringing in a coach who gives the Pels a good chance of a deep playoff run.

Not sure you thought this one through. Phil Jackson wasn't exactly BFF's with a lot of his players. Riley was notoriously accused of running down the showtime Lakers with his relentless intensity.

Hate Thibs for legitimate reasons but a few players not liking him on exit interviews seems like a reach. I can think of a few guys here that probably weren't happy with Monty.

Thibs doesn't run his players down that is a myth

Furthermore, according to multiple sources, some players didn’t endorse Thibodeau’s return in exit meetings with management.

In fact, according to sources, some players have been making separate offseason plans for several summers instead of working out formerly at the Berto Center and now the Advocate Center to get a break from Thibodeau, who rarely leaves the practice facility.

A team with a history of injury problems and a coach who wears players out? :help:

I haven't been on NOLA in a good 8 years.

To clarify, I don't dislike thibs. I'd just rather have Hoiberg or JVG. If we hire Thibs I'll still be excited.

Upgrade without a doubt.

Fwiw

While I agree to some extent I also believe we are dealing with an entirely new player now and you need someone who can reach them. While I'm not anti Thibs I do have JVG ranked higher for the simple reason that I think he will be able communicate better with his team.

If I wanted a coach for only 1 or 2 years I'd probably pick Thibs because he could whip them into shape. However I want a long term solution and I fully believe Thibs would wear on this team just like the Bulls.
