Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau is on the hot seat right now after his squad was bounced out of the playoffs again at the hands of a LeBron James-led team.
The Bulls lost to the Cavaliers in six games, all with Derrick Rose healthy, the rise of Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving out for Game 6 and with Anderson Varejao and Kevin Love out for Cleveland.
The Bulls have a lot to think about this offseason with their roster and staff. Reports say that Thibs is likely out, as one source says that he knows it himself.
From ESPN's Marc Stein:
Many unknowns remain in the Thibodeau saga, naturally starting with the two years and nearly $9 million left on the coach’s contract and the likelihood that both sides will be hoping the other blinks first in the unavoidable standoff forthcoming in terms of how these parties negotiate a divorce.
Yet there’s little mystery surrounding what both sides want. The story is the same no matter who you check with: Thibodeau and his front-office superiors John Paxson and Gar Forman, despite their public pronouncements to the contrary, are utterly done with each other.
As one source close to the situation puts it: “Thibs is gone. They know it and he knows it.”
