CHICAGO -- The
Chicago Bulls are set to announce the firing of coach
Vinny Del ***** on Tuesday, according to a source.
Though the focus will immediately turn to a coaching search that could include such candidates as Doug Collins, Maurice Cheeks, Eric Musselman, Phil Jackson, Jeff Van Gundy, Byron Scott, Sam Mitchell, Tom Thibodeau, Lawrence Frank, Dwane Casey, Avery Johnson and John Calipari, the Del ***** era goes out with something of a bang.

Phil Jackson from what I'm hearing maybe leaving the lakers at the end of the year because they don't want to pay him as much as he wants. Any chance he goes back to the Bulls if that happens

So would I. I grew up watching the Bulls on WGN and I have always liked them. I would love to see them get a good coach to help the young talent they have there.

i've watched and loved the bulls ever since i was little ever since Jordan Was There...what they should have done while they had the chance is when they was looking for a coach instead of hiring Del ***** they should have tried to get Doug Collins...he was available...we just need to get some good draft picks
Mike & Mike show made a comment about Cal as a possible candidate to the Bulls
Cal isn't an NBA Coach he tried it once and failed so i don't see him trying it again
Cal isnt an nba coach...He is like pitino the NBA isnt fot them...However for enough money either of them would go
UPDATE: John Calipari states that he has no interest in coaching the Bulls; ex-Cat Jamal Mashburn adds: "There is no way John Calipari is leaving the University of Kentucky to coach the Chicago Bulls

Good news.
Jay Marioti(spelling), said on around the horn, that Cal was bad for college bball. He mentioned UK's low gpa. He went as far to say that Cal is a pro coach, not a college coach! What an idiot.
I think Avery Johnson gets the job. He and Rose will attract a big time free agent. Bosh, Johnson, maybe even the Chi-Town native, Dwayne Wade.
