Sources: Del Negro firing closer

[72-10]

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.

Vinny is still the coach because no coach that's worth a damn is going to come here just to eat loses this season. The Bulls could probably get Pete Myers to take the job. But if it comes to choosing between Myers and VDN, the smart move would be just to let Vinny coach the reminder of the season.

GarPax should be able to sign a good coach by draft time, before the 2010 spending spree begins. Which is the most important time for this organization.

you know what. i want gar forman to coach the team. i think it be the best way to fire him at the end of the season. yeah, it would tantamount to admitting defeat/tanking, but at least we rid ourselves of completely useless garbage like gar.

Completely agree. I would only fire him if we could bring in Avery Johnson, Doug Collins, or Van Gundy immediately.

I don't think any of those guys are ideal for this team. We need someone to push the tempo, all of those guys do the opposite.

I pray that we get Doug Collins. The news is that he denied to coach, but I hope he changes his mind. He was there during MJ's early years, why not Rose. Doug is one of the smartest commentaters around. And he always impresses me with some of the stuff he says or says he would have done instead.
