Chicago Bulls Head Coach Billy Donovan Steps Away in Latest Reset

Another year, another reset for the Chicago Bulls, and if you’re a long-suffering fan like me, you’ve seen this play out before.

Head coach Billy Donovan is officially gone, leaving the team with a year left on his contract. After six seasons and a 226-256 record, he’ll join the GM and team president, who will all be looking for new work.

Why Donovan Decided to Move on From the Bulls

Apparently, the Bulls wanted to keep Donovan, but the team ultimately agreed and said it was time to move on. Seems like a mutual parting of ways, and considering the Bulls haven’t been any better than a play-in playoff team in recent years and the team totally missing the tournament this year, it was well past time to figure something else out.

Now, where do the Bulls go? It’s been almost 30 years since their last championship, and the glory years of the Bulls are a long distant memory. This team is going to have to replace the coach, rebuild leadership from the top down, and let’s not forget they also have a lottery pick in this year’s draft.

Can This Bulls Rebuild Finally Work?

If you’re like me and just hoping for one reset that actually works, can it be this one, please? With new voices and a new direction that turns this fledgling franchise around.

We Bulls fans, if there are any left, aren’t looking for just a new start; we want wins.
