Hall of Fame Center a possibility for Chicago?
There havebeen many players who become coaches: Larry Bird, Isiah Thomas, Doc Rivers, Alvin Gentry, Avery Johnson, Byron Scott, Nate McMillian, and many many more. Some have been successful and some busts aka Vinny Del Negro.
[picappgallerysingle id="7772471"]Would Hall of Famer Partrick Ewing be a good head coach and could he be the guy for the job in Chicago?
Jackson and Calipari say NO to coaching in Chicago
Phil Jackson and John Calipari blatantly said no to the head coaching job in Chicago. This isn’t surprising to Chicago fans.

Is John Calipari the man to get the Bulls to the next level?
My friends at Big Dead Side Bar have an interesting point about John Calipari being the next Bulls head coach. I just don’t know if I like the college to NBA transition.
[picappgallerysingle id="8358780"]John Calipari is a winning college coach. He took Memphis to the NCAA championship game two seasons ago and this season he caoched John Wall and Kentucky University to the elite eight. In his first college job at UMASS, he took a NIT team and brought them to five consecutive NCAA tournaments including a final four appearance in the 95-96.
Doug Collins is not the guy for the job
Before the firing of Vinny Del Negro as the Bulls head coach was even official, I heard suggestions of who could be the new Chicago matador. There is one who has been in the discussion every time the Bulls are looking for a coach.
He doesn’t need to be part of the organization again.

Yes, I am talking about Doug Collins. Collins was Chicago’s head coach from 1986-1989. He got to the playoffs but couldn’t capture a championship. Michael Jordan, the greatest player in NBA history, was on those teams. Collins had MJ, Pippen and solid role players, but couldn’t get them to the next level.
Vinny Update
According to the guys covering the Cleveland/ Boston game two, Vinny has been canned.
Instead of waiting a day as ESPN had reported from their sources, the Bulls jumped the gun and got rid of him tonight.
Thank you, the executive decision took way longer than it should, but thank you!
