Report: Thibodeau ‘almost guaranteed’ to become Bulls coach

Who has the better thinking pose?

Tom Thibodeau has turned down the New Orleans Hornets’ offer and will almost certainly become the next head coach of the Chicago Bulls, The New York Daily Post has reported.

The Post has learned Thibodeau yesterday rejected a Hornets offer that has been on the table for almost a week.

Sources also said Thibodeau, credited as Boston’s defensive mastermind, is almost guaranteed to wind up with the Bulls, whom he met with two summers ago but lost out to Vinny Del Negro.

Chicago is a perfect place for Thibodeau — the Bulls have rising stars Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah and also a whole bunch of cap room. Chicago has reportedly been Thibodeau’s number one choice all along. Let’s hope this report is spot on.

On another, completely related note, John Paxson should think twice before shoving Thibs: Dude is feisty.

    So Chicago now has the potential to get Lebron and Bosh (the idea of the sign and trade packaging Loul Deng to bring him in has been tossed about) to come in and play with Rose, Noah, and Hinrich and be coached by Tom Thibodeau.

    If that happens, I am freaking terrified of Chicago next year.
