Tom Thibodeau "on the hotseat"

I told you yesterday about mutterings I have heard around the league that Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau has lost his locker room. The last night, Derrick Rose poured jet fuel on the fire with some of the strongest comments he has made as a professional, including “we are not on the same page.” Rose rarely if ever uses expletives, but he used them Monday night after the Bulls got crushed by the Cavs 108-94.
A source close to the Bulls tells SheridanHoops that eating the remaining money (roughly $11 million) and years (two after this season) on Thibodeau’s contract will not be a concern to management or ownership if they decide to fire him.
The feeling among some players in the locker room is that Thibodeau is simply too hardcore, too much of an oddball personality, and runs his best players into the ground both in practices and games.
quote:
People close to the organization have told me that relations between Thibodeau and the front office have improved in the two years since assistant coach Ron Adams was let go against Thibodeau’s wishes, but I have heard enough anecdotes from people close to the team to realize that Thibodeau still views Bulls management with a jaundiced eye. And some have told me that team president John Paxson remains lukewarm at best regarding Thibs.

First of all, this is Chris Sheridan, who is wrong about almost everything.
But DAMN. I would jizz my pants if they decided to part ways with Thibs and he came here.
To add fuel to the fire, their are multiple Chicago journalists and bloggers that are saying similar things.
The Bulls called off practice today, fyi.

I don't think this is true, at all.

Wouldn't happen. I can see big teams going after him.

AD would be run down by the time his third contract came into play.

This might sound like those dudes on the OT who call Kate Upton fat, or Giselle ugly, but I dont think Thibs would be a great fit here.

While his firing may not be imminent, the fact that he hasn't gotten along with management for the last couple of years says a lot.
Chicago's expectations have to be finals or bust at this point. With a strained relationship with the FO to begin with I don't imagine he'll have a long leash if they keep coming up short. Especially this year, if there were a ever a year to take charge of the East it's now.

They seemed to play pretty well when Rose was out injured the last 2 seasons.

Tom Thibodeau

I certainly wouldn't mind Thibodeau at all, but I would worry about him over-playing/practicing our players.

he is cut from the intense/ basketball lifer cloth. one of my favortie coaches but thats probably cuz i never played for him

Matt Moore tweeting some now and posted a story about how his relationship with the front office is beyond repair.

quote:I mean, anything is an upgrade from Monty, and this would certain be a huge upgrade, but I'm not that big on Thibs as a head coach. He's basically the defensive version of D'Antoni, and with a talent like AD, I don't trust him in the least to manage his minutes correctly.

I'd prefer Karl over Thibs without hesitation, I don't think it's close.

It'd be nice, but I can't see him coming to New Orleans
