Yep. Just as I thought I had a decent explanation for the Bulls' / John Paxson's never-ending search for a new coach; I even had the blog post almost written out, talking about wanting to talk to either Kurt Rambis or Tom Thibodeau, and wanting to look just inept enough, or move slowly enough, so that they wouldn't lose any leverage when they actually talked to them...
But so much for that! Vinnie is set to be announced as the 17th coach of the Bulls.
During this whole process, my biggest concern was getting someone that was a legitimate fit. I didn't want to get someone that everyone would agree with, but was a horrible fit. It's very easy and tempting sometimes to make the "easy" choice, the choice everyone agrees with, because when your choice fails, you get validation from those same people who will tell you "who knew?". You can then shrug your shoulders and get away from having to take a risk at all.
At some point, someone has to give the next Phil Jackson or Greg Popovich a chance. Will Vinnie prove to be that guy?
