Billy Donovan, Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls will be searching for a new head coach once the offseason begins, as Billy Donovan has stepped down after six seasons at the helm. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Donovan didn’t want to be a holdover as the Bulls search for new basketball executives. Donovan had an option in his contract for the 2026-27 season, but chose to step down after meetings with ownership.

“After a series of thoughtful and extensive discussions with ownership regarding the future of the organization, I have decided to step away as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls, to allow the search process to unfold,” Donovan said in a statement released by the team. “I believe it is in the best interest of the Bulls, to allow the new leader to build out the staff as they see fit.”
