Bulls will fire Del Negro

The Bulls have decided to fire head coach Vinny Del Negro, but they are still looking for a replacement, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.

I wonder if McHale would leave NBATV to coach again...or perhaps Avery Johnson...Dwane Casey is still jobless too, as far as I know.

Well the coach is one of the problems. But of course it'll probably take the rest of this year and maybe next to get the team functioning optimally again.
