Chicago Bulls – Fred Hoiberg

Recently, John Paxson confirmed Fred Hoiberg will return for the 2018-19 NBA season. He’€™s a good coach and has his players running a nice system, but the Bulls are dysfunctional from the front office to some of the players.

The Bulls are a mess in my opinion. They don’t know who they want to be. They have pieces, but haven’€™t really figured out how they can work.

Under Fred Hoiberg, the Chicago Bulls have missed the playoffs twice in his three-year tenure. In his first year, he couldn’€™t get a 50-win, three seed team to make the playoffs while in his second year, his team barely made the playoffs.

I wouldn’€™t be surprised if Fred becomes the target for blame. He is safe, for now.
