Jokes aside, I think Vinny did get kind of a raw deal this year.
They cut his legs out from him talent wise, halfway through the year.
However, its probably too far to say he had no chance to last beyond 2 years. Because they did give him a 3 year deal, and JR would not eat that just for appearances.

RIP Vinny. You will be missed.
Although, this guy is probably just running with the Sun Times story.

story".

Vinny will find another job in the NBA either as a really good GM or another coaching gig

ok hopefully we get a new coach in right away and dont look like idiots. even tho vinny did suck somtimes i give him credit for doing what he was supposed to do when he was brought here. develop our young guys and getting them to play hard again. im kind of gonna miss making fun of vinny and calling him all those names. sure it was mean but i did it cuz i knew the team and he could do better.
good luck vinny

well, even though it was inevitable, you guys did notice the part where they said:
"barring a snag" in the article, so it looks like there were no snags.

Another article. Issacson aimlessly throws some candidates out there. Eric Musselman? Really?

"Vinny Del Negro was just on way into Bulls team facility and has yet to be informed he's been fired, league source says."

Class.
He had to know it was coming though.

I hope he's turning around.
Hilarious nonetheless..

He was a dead man walking through most of the season anyway, no big deal. I feel nothing.
The only thing I'm not too pleased about is how the front office went about the entire situation.
Maybe the Sixers should give him a try.

Just another day at the office for everyone's favorite management team.
Like I said, if VDN wanted to, he could completely derail 2010 for us by regaling teams and free agents with fun tales about life working with JR, Pax, and Gar. Good job, stooges!

Woj:
"Two league coaches who just spoke to assistant coaches on Bulls staff said the coaches were unaware that a decision had been handed down."
Also, a noon news conference has been set.

During the season I thought you could NOT get any worse as a poster.
I was wrong...

You just have to appreciate the ruthlessness at this point. Hilarious.
VDN should be glad he made it past X-Mas.
