When the nickname “The Mayor” is attached to you, that could mean one of two things: (1) You are, in fact, the mayor. (2) You are the man. In Fred Hoiberg‘s case, he is the man, and he could be coaching the Chicago Bulls in no time.
The real question isn’t if Fred Hoiberg takes the Bulls’ job — that’s expected. The big question is who succeeds him at Iowa State.

In Hoiberg’s time at Iowa State, he has turned the Cyclones into a Big 12 powerhouse. Hoiberg has continuously brought in talented transfers and said transfers have done work out on the basketball coach.

Iowa State’s current coach has put the program back on the map and then some. Can he keep the Bulls on the map and keep all the fans happy in the process? Tom Thibodeau saw a ton of success, although he could never lead Chicago to a title.
All signs are pointing to Hoiberg for the Chicago job, and I will leave you with this: If The Mayor can lead Iowa State to a great amount of success, he can certainly get the job done while coaching for the Bulls.
