Bulls fire Thibodeau, will Hoiberg be next coach?

[avid1010]

Hoiberg is a far better coach than Buzz.

No NBA GM is looking at Hoiberg and saying "Well, he got knocked out early in the tournament." It's a crapshoot, like we know. A NBA GM is looking a system, adjustments, culture and tactics.

are any other gm's looking at him...or just the bulls?

Yes, other GM's have looked at him in previous years.

I think it will be interesting to see the staff he puts together.  I think comparisons to Kerr are accurate.  Heady former players who have front office experience and excel in player/people management.  I don't think he's the guy for a tough rebuilding job or a crappy roster, but I think with a good set up, he'll excel.  I think he will be a breath of fresh air in Chicago.

All right, I'll say it ... I fear he's going to be a bad hire, just like Tim Floyd. 

Apparently it is taking days and days for them to work out his contract.  If Hoiberg wanted the job, it would have been worked out this weekend and he would be announced at presser tomorrow.

I hope it falls through and the Bulls go to plan B.

Man, this is ridiculous!! What is your criteria to determine a bad hire? Most hires in the NBA are "bad hires". Phil Jackson to the Knicks is a bad hire. Jesus, how many hires have the Bucks had in the last decade. None was a good hire. How have the Lakers hires been going? Thibodeaux was a bad hire for the Bulls considering they canned him and are now eating two years of contract. And the list goes on!
