Bulls: Del Negro accepts head coaching position

Vinny Del Negro has accepted his first head coaching job, agreeing to take over a Chicago Bulls team that went from 49 wins to 49 losses in a season and missed the playoffs after making the second round in 2007.

Bulls general manager John Paxson plans to introduce Del Negro as the team's new coach at a Wednesday afternoon news conference, team spokesman Matt Yob said Tuesday.

His selection ends a drawn-out search in which the Bulls' high-profile courtships of Mike D'Antoni and Doug Collins collapsed.

Vinny should work out well in Chicago. young team, will be all ears because of the presence Del Negro will bring to the lockeroom...(are you detecting any sarcasm?)
