I'm not the biggest Bulls fan, but the word on the street is that regardless of any outcome that is not an NBA title, Thibs may get fired by the Bulls after this season. He's still under contract, so he can't walk, but the relationship between Paxson and Thibs has been toxic for awhile. There's a lot of scrutiny about the medical staff, issues w/ him overplaying his team and grinding them down (although I hear he's been better about that lately), etc.
What say ye?
Will Thibs be fired regardless of record?

He gets those record by making his starters play absurd amounts of minutes in a physically intensive style. It's already taken Jimmy Butler from MVP to withered husk in a matter of months.

Douggie McBuckets got his knee scoped and he's good to go, but of course Thibs will make him ride the pine.
We are sorely missing the shooting of Mike Dunleavy, and yet Douggie sits on the bench.
Thibs is fucking maddening sometimes.

The guy has the knowledge and has extended the bench more this season than he has since he has been in Chicago, BUT, the fucker has to relax. These are men who have been playing bball for a long time. He does not have to coach every friggin possession!!! I like that he is stern and preaches Defense, but take a damn seat and enjoy the game a little. Gasol has came out and said practices are not that hard but that could be player speak.
The D has stunk for about a month now and the players all speak after the game about lack of communication and intensity. They have been saying that after every friggin game and nothing has changed.
Lot of talent on this team, they should be playing better. And Rose, you are not an outside shooter, give it up and take the ball to the rack!!!!

has a college coach's attitude, which works in college with young 'uns who need the direction, and the grinding style is ok because again they're young ... plus the college season is shorter
but I think he is ruining the Bulls
if he doesn't take a chill pill real soon I think he certainly will be the next ex-Bulls coach
