Del Negro still Employed??
Vinny Del Negro made it past the usual Christmas Eve head coach firing squad the Chicago Bulls are famous for. His two predecessors, Tim Floyd and Scott Skiles, were let go with sorry we want someone new, but hey, Merry Christmas. Del Negro has kept his job and looks to want it for some duration.
Even after he made it past Christmas, rumors were still being typed on the web, printed in papers, heard on the radio and discussed on countless Chicago street corners. Then about a month ago, the Bulls started to play the game they are being paid for.

The 2000-2009 Running of the Chicago Bulls
The decade began with the Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf trying to replace the championship roster he had in the 90’s. We know the story. Michael Jordan retired, then un-retired for a year or two for a season with the Washington Wizzards . Phil Jackson left for the Los Angeles Lakers, where he three-peats to start the decade. Scottie Pippen was traded to the Houston Rockets and Dennis Rodman went completely over the edge.
Job on the line
Head Coach Vinny Del Negro is under the hot seat. The pressure he has been building up for him to turn his team around from their bad stretch. The Bulls started the season out 4-2 including wins against the San Antonio Spurs (pre-season number two in Western Conference) and Lebron’s Cleveland Cavaliers.
Since then, they have 4 wins in their last 20 games and find themselves with an 8-15 record. In the past week and a half, they have lost to the New Jersey Nets, who had only one victory before the Bulls, and have lost by 25 or more points to the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics.
