In this episode, I’m reacting to a Joe Cowley piece in the Chicago Sun-Times that’s got people asking a real question: could Billy Donovan be on his way out? The key part here is Cowley saying there’s “growing momentum around the building” that Billy could step away from what he calls “the mess” and take a season to re-evaluate what he wants from coaching. And I said it straight up—I've always felt the only way Billy Donovan isn’t the Bulls head coach is if he chooses to walk away. Between the Bulls being stuck in NBA no man’s land and the personal losses Billy’s dealt with (losing his father and mother-in-law weeks apart), I can understand why he might need to step back. I also get into the bigger layer of the article: the blame game around Artūras Karnisovas and whether Marc Eversley could be the one left “holding the bag.” There are whispers Eversley hasn’t been fully aligned with AK for a while, and if AK is the type to push out anyone who disagrees with him, that’s a dangerous way to run a franchise. None of this is confirmed, so take it with a grain of salt—but if Billy does walk, the Bulls may have to move fast on a new coach. And yes, if I had my pick, I’ve been telling y’all for two years: Chris Quinn is my guy.
