Bulls looking to get rid of Hoiberg

Remember last June, when the Bulls’ brass introduced Fred Hoiberg, declared him the perfect fit and smiled as Hoiberg gushed over a roster he openly declared had championship potential? That was before Jimmy Butler publicly criticized him, before Joakim Noah became annoyed with him, before a promised free-flowing offense eroded to a far less efficient version than the one former coach Tom Thibodeau ran last season. Better days indeed.

The Bulls wanted to be rid of Thibodeau, and they have reaped what they have sown. No more friction, no more personality conflicts and, in all likelihood, no more playoffs. The rebuild Chicago didn’t need is coming. No stopping it now.

Everyone, please put out potential head coach replacements for Chicago to consider.

Can you go first, please?

[Corymach7]

Can you go first, please?

Here are mine then:

Ray Allen
Pete Myers
Scottie Pippen
Adrian Griffin
Darvin Ham
Mike James
Tony Snell (Player-Coach)

Those are my potential replacements for Hoiberg.

[iamSamke]

Tony Snell, if you ask me. Nothing else would make any sense. lol

[PeacemanNOT]

I can never tell when this guy is being serious or if he's trolling

Tony Snell for sure though.

Michael Jordan.

It wouldn't make sense for it to be anyone else. Michael Jordan is the main Bull. He's the best player ever and if he punches Rose then they will win a championship again.

Anyone who doesn't say Michael Jordan is a stupid piece of paper.

This is rubbish. You probably don't remember how it turned out when Jordan was the player coach of the Wizards. Or when he managed the Chicago White Sox to the 2005 World Series

[Jackal]

Were any of those teams called the Bulls?

How many championships did Michael Jordan win for the baseballs team or the Wizards?

Nuff said.

Great players don't necessarily make great coaches.

You know what Jeff? Don't talk that shit. You're old as shit man. Your team needs Ewing to coach them to be relevant again.

Michael Jordan - Bulls
Kobe Bryant - Lakers
LeBron James - Cavs
Patrick Ewing - Knicks

League fucked.

[Jeffx]

Your team needs Ewing to coach them to be relevant again.

The Knicks need Peter Holt & R. C. Buford to be relevant again. Ownership is the problem. You can hire a HOF coach, but if the front office is dysfunctional, forget it.

Of course it's come down to talking about players becoming coaches, including an active player who's a flop. Of course.

In any case, I wouldn't be sorry to see Hoiberg let go. As that article notes, it's all too easy to blame the coach, and everyone has to share in the responsibility so in reality, it's not all on Hoiberg. That said, the same roster managed to win 50 games under Thibs last year, Hoiberg's offense hasn't worked out, and their defense is even worse. The roster isn't nearly as good as management proclaimed it to be, but I don't have a lot of confidence in Hoiberg at this point.

[Jackal]

Then Ewing and Spike Lee need to buy the Knicks. They will turn things around as owners and Ewing as coach.

And Michael Jordan as coach for the Bulls.

[Andrew]

But how is MJ going to make a comeback for the Hornets when he's coaching the Bulls?

(Rule change, obviously. So much for that prediction, Jalen Rose!)

[Jackal]

The Hornets suck ass anwyay. Michael is just using Charlotte to host his own party with blackjack and hookers. Without Charles "Churros" Barkley.

[Andrew]

I'd keep the Futurama reference going by saying "forget the blackjack", but it seems highly unlikely there wouldn't be card games if MJ is hosting the party.

[mp3]

How about that guy Thibs? He seems pretty good.

Actually iam jumping on the Bobby Portis player/coach bandwagon where he will start himself and play 40 minutes a night.

[I Hate Mondays]

Elton Brand, period.

p.s. Couldn't handle it anymore. just googled this guy's username and came across his twitter profile. If he is the guy from that profile pic, he is exactly how I imagine corymach looks like

[Andrew]

This is starting to take a turn for the nasty here. Incredulous responses are fair enough, but humiliation isn't cool. Let's not go down that path.

[PeacemanNOT]

April Fools.

Jackal spitting hard hitting truths.
