Three and a half years after he left Florida, Billy Donovan has the best odds to be the next NBA head coach fired, according to BetDSI. Donovan flirted with NBA opportunities during his 19-year. The Chicago Bulls hired Billy Donovan as their coach Tuesday, landing one of the top candidates on the market to lead a rebuilding team with an overhauled front office.

Billy Donovan may very well be on the hot seat.

After a 1-4 start to the season, and several defensive mishaps along the way, Donovan is the favorite to be the next head coach fired in the NBA, according to Bet DSI.

Of course, the Cavaliers fired head coach Tyronn Lue on Sunday after a 0-6 start to the season. Prior to the Thunder winning on Sunday, they joined the Cavaliers as the only winless clubs in the NBA.

The Thunder defeated the Suns on Sunday, though, to pick up their first win of the season and improved to 1-4 in the process but the team has not started off the way many had hoped.

Unfortunately for Donovan, he has dealt with multiple injuries to several key players on the roster, including Russell Westbrook, Andre Roberson and Steven Adams, so he has not had a fully healthy roster available.

While the team has certainly had their fair share of obstacles this season, it ultimately remains to be seen how much leeway the front office will give Donovan as the season progresses.
