The New Orleans Pelicans have an important decision to make in the coming weeks after deciding to fire head coach Monty Williams. With the direction of the franchise going forward tied into who will be the next head coach, the Pelicans taking their time to do all the available research and interviews makes a lot of sense.
According to John Reid of NOLA.com, that search will include a name that every person watching the Pelicans expected.
League sources confirmed on Wednesday that the Pelicans are waiting to see if the Chicago Bulls and coach Tom Thibodeau are going to part ways.
