The lack of contract extension and the firing of his top assistant Ron Adams last year are just a few of the many reported conflicts between the Chicago Bulls’ front-office and head coach Tom Thibodeau. Is it possible the Bulls wouldn’t renew Thibodeau’s contract after the year? Take a look at this from K.C. Johnson of Chicago Tribune:
Several league sources believe Thibodeau’s relationship with management is beyond repair.
And while there are no plans to replace Thibodeau during the season, a mutual parting of the ways after this season wouldn’t surprise many league personnel familiar with the deteriorating dynamic.

In his five-years coaching the Bulls, Thibodeau has led the teams to 62-20, 50-16, 45-37, 48-34 and 30-17 records. It would be fairly mind-boggling if the Bulls indeed let Thibs walk after the year.
