According to an article on ESPN, the decision to kick Vinny to the curb has already been made. It is going to happen, and soon. The only problem holding Paxson back is the whole "finding a replacement" deal (I personally vote Joakim as interim player-coach). Paxson and the Bulls need to find a permanent head coach for the future, one that will handle multiple personalities and run a team correctly during games and practices. According to the article, the Bulls are not interested in promoting an assistant coach, but will if they have too.
As I said before in this rant and rave post, Byron Scott and Avery Johnson would be two coaches I would enjoy watching head this team. With $15 million to spend in the off season (and a hopeful trade and sign or expiring contract trade), the Bulls should be significantly better next year (which seems like a pretty good situation to take over for Scott and Johnson). The current 11-17 record has been disappointing, but the next few months should be interesting (if even the Bulls are not) with trade rumors, the return of a healthy Tyrus Thomas, and now the hunt for a head coach.
Update: According to Chicagobreakingsports.com, Vinny believes that management is on his side and not looking to give him the Trump. Vinny said, "I know we're on the same page. I talk to them every day." But what seems weird about all of this is that Paxson and the Bulls denied comments. If Paxson, the Bulls, and Vinny are all on the same page, why have they not come out and put a stop to all of these rumors? A question Vinny should be thinking about!
