Nothing’s a done deal yet between the Bulls and coaching candidate Doug Collins, but that didn’t stop chicagosports.com visitors from weighing in:
I think this could be a great hire. Especially if Rose is taken with the first pick. I think Collins was brought in to teach the young kids and at the same time groom an assistant to take over in the next 2 to 3 years. I like the move Pax!” — WIBullsFan
“Seriously? This is a joke, no? Say Re-tread … This guy fails everywhere and the blame is going to land squarely on Paxson’s shoulders, where it looks more and more like it belongs.”
— Re-dock
“I think the Bulls will be better. Especially if Doug Collins goes back to the perm.”
— BullFan
“I think Doug Collins is a great teacher. I’m just concerned with Collins’ relationships with younger players.”
— Mike
“All Bulls games next year will be aired on ESPN Classic.”
— Garett C
“Collins couldn’t win it with Jordan and Pippen … and we expect him to win with Deng and Rose? Avery Johnson is younger and could handle this team better.”
— The Dr
“Doug Collins was an excellent coach. He had one failing — he overplayed his starters during the season, so no bench was developed for the playoffs. Hence, although [he had] the best starting 5, he could not get the championship. He must be wiser as well as older now.
