What has he done?? He's been on the hot seat for years. 
 
There's been rumors of this happening each of the last 3ish seasons.

Three of their five best players have been out for pretty much the entire season so far...
 
I haven't been a huge fan of Hoiberg, but the timing of this makes no sense to me.

To me that makes more sense to fire him. They aren't competing, get a new coach they actually want there. Have them grow with the team.

Hoiberg is a young coach. If they didnt want him there, they shouldnt have hired him in the first place.

Im wondering if he lost the locker room. Lavine waved off his play late in a game the other day and tried to shoot a step back. Dumbass

A ton of people said they shouldn't have hired him in the first place. He was a good offensive college coach. He is young, but they seem to want to go in a different direction.
 
They took a chance on him thinking maybe he'll do something nice for them, he hasn't. And yeah Lavine did have that awful shot to end the game, that Hoiberg wasn't happy about, but he doesn't seem to be the type of coach that gets onto guys for a dumb mistake like that.

Let me know when he had a roster that was in position to do anything. Ill wait.

The closest thing he had to anything resembling an NBA Team was a box of misfit toys in 2016-17 that he took to a position of almost upsetting the #1 seed before Rondo got hurt.

Oh i'm not saying they had a roster to warrant anything. I'm just saying they weren't satisfied with either how he was doing or how he was communicating with the team or something.

Paxson "we felt a different energy the past few weeks. We're lacking a spirit and we need to get that back. This decision is not based on our record. blah blah"

Eh, I don't think this situation was ever suited for Hoiberg. I wonder who they will get, bring in another young guy that suits the team more or what.

Of a young guy they may or may not want? Haha I'm not even convinced they'll get a young dude.

Not for me, for the Bulls lol. I didn't fire him. I personally like Hoiberg haha.
 
I just know there have been rumors ever since he got hired that it was not a good fit.

I don't know any haha. I wanna say Blatt but I doubt he'll be an option for them for some reason. Probably a few San Antonio assistants out there. 
 
I hope SVG, JFG, and Jackson don't get it haha.
