coaching search Stories - Blog a Bull
Not that I have interest in equal time, but some good things about Vinny:
As the site header has said for the past couple weeks, and as the last few posts have explained, I'm not overly thrilled at how the inaugural campaign of Vinny Del Negro has been going. That said, I'm not disapointed to the point to where he needs to be fired, or that his hiring was a mistake....
Oh jeeeeeeez
Latest update of the never-ending coaching search: WSCR-AM (670) reported first and the Sun-Times confirmed that Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf wants to take as much time as he felt necessary to make sure he would be hiring Collins for the right reasons and not allow his close relationship...
Waiting for the white smoke
That's for the pope, but this coaching search seems almost as important. Or at least as long. Or maybe the point is smoking must be involved: Contrary to a published report, Bulls general manager John Paxson never intended to talk to another former NBA coach about the job over the weekend....
Pax can use his dawdling for good this time
Think Doug Collins minds if Paxson is still interviewing and not giving him a contract? Of course not, he's a friend of the organization! So who cares what the reports were. DetroitBadBoys speculates that Flip Saunders may get fired instead of heading into a 'lame duck' season. Hire that retread...
Comfortably dumbfounded
It's still very weird to imagine. Doug Collins? Doug? Collins? This was the "new vibe" Paxson was searching for all these weeks? It can be looked at least as a return to known competence. Any coach who isn't that last coach they had (and shall not be named) will get this team back to...
Trib: Doug Collins expected to be next Bulls coach
This report from KC Johnson was mentioned earlier today in a (since hidden) fanpost, but that was a first draft, with the idea that Collins could be coming in as either the head coach or an assistant. Now? Six weeks ago Thursday, shortly after firing interim coach Jim Boylan, general manager...
For the sweater crowd
I labled this Reinsdorf quote as amongst the 'good' portion of what he said regarding the coaching search: "I can't worry about perception. I have to worry about making the right decision. This is a very critical hire." But do the Bulls need to worry about perception? (So far they haven't...
(UPDATE) Reinsdorf speaks, manages to make it sound even worse
UPDATE: Sam Smith with more from Reinsdorf and D'Antoni. Kudos to KC for scoring this interview with the chairman: "I'm disappointed in [D'Antoni]," Reinsdorf said. "I don't know what else we could've done. He chose to go to New York knowing there was a good chance we would make him an offer....
No timetable, indeed.
In the aftermath of Mike D'Antoni signing with the Knicks over the Bulls, I was a bit disappointed but not completely. I felt that D'Antoni would've been a good fit, but not a perfect one, and whatever reservations the Bulls braintrust had regarding him were justifiable. Especially when...
The interest is really real.
There was some talk of the Knicks reaching out to Mike D'Antoni despite his closeness with the Chicago Bulls. Turns out we're reaching out with fat stacks of cash in our hands. From ESPN: The New York Knicks on Thursday outlined the lucrative parameters of a five-year deal they're prepared to...
