With the way the team is playing, no way Thibbs gets canned.

I think Hoiberg is more of a College coach and I hope he goes to the college game.

I would love for Nebraska to hire him but I doubt we move past Miles with how good the team is this year.

Good for him to give the NBA a shot -- makes a lot more money this way after having the heart issue end his playing career. I do think he'll end up back in the college game. Jeff Goodman already connected him to UCLA if they move on from Alford.

As a Bulls fan, I can tell you that Hoiberg is a mistake. He is a college coach.

It is funny that you guys take our castoffs. We loved Thibs till we hated him and when you guys got him, we said "you'll have the honeymoon and then you will come to see the same problems that we saw". And here we are.

Want to experience the same thing with Hoiberg?

I'm not leaving my Monty Williams wagon even with Hoiberg available. No chance.

I hear Mike McCarthy is available. He's about as good an NBA coach as The Mayor.

He's made for a front office job. Doubt he wants to coach again to be honest.

He should take Pitno's job if the Gophers don't make the tourney this year.

I've said it a million times....if people complain how frugal Taylor can be (ala, selling picks).....why do any of you even suggest moving on from Thibs and the amount of money he's still owed? Nevermind that he got us to the playoffs for the first time in forever, and completely forget that he has this team playing very well now after having to cut out a major piece from last season that was clearly causing disruption. Avoid those two thoughts....just think about the money, and you'll have your answer as to why he's going no where.

As for Freddie.....why people think he'd just be awesome here is beyond me. The Bulls have won 5 games, sure....they aren't supposed to be good. But for being a younger, more player friendly guy....what exactly did that get him? We're literally 4 games out from being in the potential mix of the top four. The season is young, and we've clearly righted the ship. Let Freddie take the rest of the year of and make a decision of what level he wants to be at, but know that it's not going to be with the Wolves for at least two more seasons.

Interesting thought.

Think he might make a good college AD?

I could see him doing that. I had heard recruiting was something he didn't like to do when he was coaching.
