Billy Donovan Tops The Board

The leading candidate on our chart this week is fourth-year Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, who has posted a 122-129 (.486) with the team, as the Bulls sputter their way through a 5-10 start to the season.  

Overall, the longtime University of Florida and NBA head coach is our leading candidate to be fired first, coming in at +350 this week, while Steve Clifford of the Charlotte Hornets and Wes Unseld Jr. of the Washington Wizards (+500), Taylor Jenkins of the Memphis Grizzlies and Chauncey Billups of the Portland Trail Blazers (+1000) are the next closest firing options.  

Right now, fans of the Celtics can rest assured that second year coach Joe Mazzulla is in good shape to keep his job long-term.
