Sources: Paxson to resign as Bulls GMViews It My T&R Two people in the know maintain John Paxson will resign as Bulls GM soon after Thursday's trade deadline expires. Assistant GM Gar Foreman is expected to take over for the remainder of the season. Chicago is contemplating numerous trades - Amare Stoudemire, Jermaine O'Neal, Zach Randolph, Chris Kamen - in an effort to acquire an inside threat offensively and defensively, and, at the same time, deport Larry Hughes. One of the above sources said he wouldn't be surprised if Doug Collins were approached again at the season regarding the coaching job (currently held by Vinny Del Negro) and as GM, or both. Collins and managing partner Jerry Reinsdorf couldn't agree on money last May. New York Post |

This would be a surprise to me but probably not a bad thing. Pax hasn't shown that he can build a team and it is painfully obvious that Vinny was the wrong choice as coach. I thought they should have gone with Avery Johnson personally. If they bring in Collins that would have to be a short term deal, he hasn't proven that he is anything special roaming the sidelines. |

Man, I think he's kinda overreacting to being booed at Johnny Kerr's deal the other night - he'd never be able to handle being on this board!

Remember This? On Thursday January 21st, McGinnis was in town for his interview. That evening, McCaskey contacted McGinnis about contract terms, and the Arizona coordinator told him that basically he would need to think about it. The Bears job was McGinnis' dream; he had coached for Chicago under both Ditka and Wannstedt from 1986-1995. First thing in the morning on the 22nd, McCaskey notified the Bear's PR Department to call a 1:00 press conference announcing the hiring of Dave McGinnis as the 11th Head Coach in Bear history. Wannstedt's voicemail was even changed at Halas Hall to "Dave McGinnis, Head Coach". Apparently, the only person that hadn't been told about the hiring was McGinnis, who was furious that the team would do this before he had agreed to contract terms. The press conference was postponed all afternoon, and finally cancelled at the end of the business day. The Bears indicated that they still expected to have an announcement on McGinnis the following day, and the media was back in force on the 23rd, waiting for news. McCaskey's father Ed even came into the office to try to plead with McGinnis to reconsider as it became apparent he didn't want to work under the type of management that was displayed the day before. As McGinnis was walking through O'Hare on his return flight to Phoenix, bidding farewell to Chicago and his dream, a new head coach was being introduced to the media at Halas Hall. It was Dick Jauron, who had grown up in Peoria, IL, and had been to Bears training camp in Rennsaleer, IN, when his father coached at St. Joseph's college.

Really hope they don't use the health reason excuse. Just saying your firing him because he has been horrible at drafting and signing free agents. |
