Tom Thibodeau is currently employed as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls, a team that still remains in the NBA playoffs. So, why is The Bird Writes going to analyze him as a potential candidate for the open position of the lead job on the sidelines in New Orleans?

Long-simmering tension between Thibodeau and the Bulls' front office is now common knowledge throughout the league, and rival teams expect the Bulls and their gravelly voiced, defensive genius to part ways once Chicago's playoff run is over.
