Just...wow
Breaking news this morning has Fred Hoiberg fired as head coach of the Chicago Bulls. The team has confirmed the reports, including that lead assistant Jim Boylen is taking over.
Fred not seeing through his 5-year guaranteed (?...still won’t believe Reinsdorf agreed to this) contract, gifted from his Ames pal Gar Forman and approved by part-time executive John Paxson after the worldwide coaching search of 2015, wasn’t unexpected.
The timing this certainly is weird though. The Bulls have been terrible this season, starting off 5-19, though Hoiberg has been saddled with a ton of injuries, plus big free agent signing Jabari Parker not being injured.
