Credit Chris Broussard, ESPN The Magazine The decision to fire head coach Vinny Del Negro has already been made, according to sources with knowledge of the Chicago Bulls' thinking. The fact that the Bulls' front office has not been able to settle on a replacement is the main thing keeping the embattled Del Negro employed, the sources said. There were discussions recently within the organization about having John Paxson, Chicago's executive vice president of basketball operations, take over the team, but Paxson ultimately decided against it. Then, according to sources, Chicago contacted former Bulls coach Doug Collins, a candidate for the job two years ago when Del Negro was hired, but Collins was not interested in coaching the club. |

The question remains, who replaces him then? The only available guy I sort of like is Avery Johnson. I think he would be good for DRose and I also think he would help attract some of the free agents. |

I would like to see Avery get the gig, if only for the fact that it would get him off my television... |

No No NO on Avery! The guy I want is Byron Scott. |

If this report is true, then why doesn't Vinny just resign? Why put himself through this torture when your fate has already been determined? |

What about Lawrence Frank? I heard the Bulls were said to be doing background checks on him last week. |

I would take Frank over Avery in a heartbeat, but would still rather have Scott. |

frank would be a slight upgrade over vinny and avery but i dont want him. At best he's an average coach. I dont consider him a good candidate |

IMO he is more like Skiles than he is Vinny. he's much better at clock management but he's not good at player development, never really has anything innovative going on offensively(when kidd left that offense was boring as hell) and i've never been impressed with his team's defensively. I also am not sure how much he really gets through to players. |

I dont believe any of this because Danny and Terry's peeps said they were not going to fire him this season. |

I just called TB and left a message on his machine, telling him that VDN has basically been fired. That way, when he checks his messages on Wednesday, he can come on the air Thursday and tell us that he knew VDN was going to be fired on the preceding Tuesday. It's legit. |

They said that their peeps were telling them that they did not want to go through the embarassement of firing him mid-season after all the coaching crap in the offseason. |

So they're looking at a permanent replacement instead of an interim? I call bullshit. I'd rather have an interim and a full interview process as soon as the Celtics are finished. |

He has never won anything, burns out himself & players and you will be looking for a new coach in 1.5 years. For everybodys sake let Doug stay on my TV doing great work. |

PG's have played big roles under Byron Scott so that would be a good choice imo. I'm surprised none of us has mentioned Jeff Van Gundy. He was a pretty damn good coach too. |

Van Gundy and Byron Scott are 1 and 1a in my book. |

Once again, Joey Meyer. all things considered, Joey is a great choice. #1 The Bulls dont want to pay big money. They dont even want to pay decent money. This is why you can eliminate all the "name" guys for this season. #2 Joey is a good coach. He knows his guard play. #3 He knows Chicago. Not that it is a difference maker, but doesn't hurt. #4 He is in the NBDL right now, this is the kind of guy they need a Coaching Lifer. |

What is the point of the usage of "SOURCE"? Doesn't that basically mean that it's not totally made up? What kind of breaking news would it be if there wasn't a source? |
