As the coaching search for the New Orleans Pelicans continues, the Chicago Bulls have announced the firing of Head Coach Tom Thibodeau. Thibs has been one of the biggest names with rumors as a possible candidate for the Pelicans head coaching vacancy. While it seemed the Bulls were previously looking for some kind of compensation for one of the biggest coaching names on the market, it seems Chicago changed their minds in that department and decided to begin their coaching search by firing Thibodeau.
