I think JP will know exactly where we are headed before anything is announced about Fred.
So Fred is going to step down as ISU coach while Thibs is still the coach of the Bullz? I mean, Fred can't announce he's stepping down to take the Bullz job at that point, right?
I know it's coming, but I'm not sure about this timeline.
Not sure. I am sure that JP is working on some options. IMO, a proven Head Coach would be preferred. Some have mentioned Archie Miller. He could possibly do some great things with this team. IMO, we get him. The more I hear about him, the more I like him.
my apologies if incorrect, I must have incorrectly gotten you lumped into the masses of members stating"NO WAY FRED LEAVES THIS SEASON"...
I can understand Fred wanting to keep it quiet if he's decided since there isn't technically a job open yet and the Bulls want something for Thibs. But I sure hope he's told JP and the department is working on replacement strategies. And I'd hope they'd tell Fred that he can't drag this out forever to help the Bulls. If Fred wants to leave, we need to move on quickly for the betterment of the program.
I think the dominoes will start falling soon, no clue how it will play out though
Umm, you have not heard of a team meeting to deliver this kind of news directly and handle the players concern? Just a thought
tbf I play both sides on issues pretty regularly depending on the flow of the conversation and who is posting what. :spinny:
I think people are at the point they hope its a team meeting to just put this to an end but you are probably right.
There is no way that there would be an interim coach. That wouldn't happen.
Funny how people that are convinced he is already leaving see everything that happens as confirming that belief. Anyone ever think Otz was brought in bc Hoiberg was going to be out so long he needed a top assistant who he was comfortable with basically running things while he was out? He wasn't going to bring an unknown to handle things.
There are some crazy conspiracy theories on here.

Thibs won't be gone until Chicago knows they have Fred. Lots of smoke. Hearing lots about a coach/players meeting that happened. Fred's silence is fairly telling.
Ummm, you really think they are going to ask these guys to change their plans and fly across the country to be given bad news? I'm pretty sure players travel on their own dime as well, although I could be wrong about. Pretty sure summer school starts about now. You believe whatever you want, but don't think it has anything to do with an announcement.
