Fred Hoiberg

On Monday morning, before 9am, the Chicago Bulls fired head coach Fred Hoiberg and named associate head coach Jim Boylen as his replacement. According to ESPN, Boylen is taking over as head coach NOT as the interim coach. “Decisions like this one are never easy to make, however I felt this was the right choice [...]

When the Chicago Bulls begin the 2017-18 regular season, head coach Fred Hoiberg expects Dwyane Wade to be on the team and part of the rotation. And that, in turn, means no buyout is forthcoming. General manager Gar Forman and vice president of basketball operations John Paxson were extremely up front about this in June, [...]

Fred Hoiberg has not been given a fair shake through his first two seasons as head coach of the Chicago Bulls, but that doesn’t mean he’ll bolt the first chance he gets. Exhibit A: He’s coming back for next season. A source told CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish that Hoiberg had become a “real candidate” for [...]

Fred Hoiberg’s job with the Chicago Bulls is apparently safe—insofar as a head coach’s gig can be safe after his team failed to meet internal expectations for the second consecutive season. While appearing on the Washington Post‘s Posting Up podcast with Tim Bontemps, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune indicated that he thinks Hoiberg’s job will be safe until [...]

Less than two seasons into Fred Hoiberg’s tenure as Tom Thibodeau’s successor, the Chicago Bulls may have seen enough. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The latest chatter on the coaching grapevine, meanwhile, tells us that the toastiest seat on the NBA map at present belongs, rightly or wrongly, to the Chicago Bulls’ Fred Hoiberg. The Bulls’ [...]

Seeing Joakim Noah come off the bench last year for the Bulls seemed very odd. Rookie head coach Fred Hoiberg made the decision to remove the fan favorite from the starting linuep. Perhaps that, along with a bunch of other miscues, played a role in the Bulls regressing to missing the playoffs. The 31-year-old will [...]

The Bulls were the sexy pick for the past handful of years in the East, but things have certainly changed. Derrick Rose’s injuries, roster changes and a head coaching swap has found Chicago potentially missing the playoffs. That’s something that wasn’t fathomable just a year ago, but here we are. Rookie head coach Fred Hoiberg [...]

Additional offensive help is not on the way for the Chicago Bulls. Already bogged down by subpar play at the point guard position (sup, Derrick Rose) and in the frontcourt (sup, Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah), the Bulls definitely need an offensive boost. Though they rank as one of the league’s best three-point [...]

When new Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg relegated Joakim Noah to bench duty, one of two things happened. Some brushed it off. Noah has always been a team player, and the Bulls are stacked with frontcourt talent. He would understand. Others began to panic, or at least wonder if there would be any repercussions, [...]

Fred Hoiberg, it seems, is not afraid to bench Joakim Noah. When the Chicago Bulls poached Hoiberg from Iowa State, we all knew the offense was going to change. Hoiberg incorporates more movement and a little more speed. There would be more shooting. A lot more shooting. The kind of shooting you can’t get by [...]
