Who could replace Billy Donovan if he leaves the Bulls? (Hour 2)

The second hour of the Mully & Haugh Show explores the potential fallout if Bulls head coach Billy Donovan departs after six years, examining possible replacements and the broader implications for the franchise. The hosts discuss Wes Unseld Jr., Donovan’s assistant coach with head coaching experience, as the most likely internal candidate for a seamless transition. They also consider external names like Tom Thibodeau, Chris Quinn, and Adrian Griffin, while humorously acknowledging the unlikelihood of Thibodeau returning to Chicago. The conversation shifts to the Bulls’ organizational challenges, including a lack of clear direction from ownership, uncertainty around rebuilding plans, and the need for bold, aggressive moves to attract talent and restore competitiveness. The hosts emphasize that without a concrete strategy—especially regarding financial commitment, draft capital, and free agency—the team risks stagnation. Later segments pivot to the Cubs and White Sox, with discussions on Seiya Suzuki’s return, the White Sox’s recent win in Kansas City, and the development of young pitchers like Jackson Wiggins and Rock Chalowski.
