Former Chicago Bulls (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/chi/) great Scottie Pippen says he's serious about coaching, and if there is an opening with the Chicago Bulls, he believes he's perfect.

"What's my disadvantage?" Pippen asked. "No NBA coaching experience? [Scott] Skiles' record with the Bulls wasn't that great. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do what you've done your whole life. I've played basketball, run teams and won.

"They didn't put me at point guard because I could dribble good. They put me there because I could run a team. I wasn't the best dribbler, the best shooter. I wasn't a point guard. But I knew how to run a team."

he would become the epic failure. almost as bad as seeing Jordan being the GM of the bobcats who actually thought adam morrison could play in the NBA. lol

He's a great team player and very unselfish. Players do respect what he has accomplished. I think he would be a great coach.

Though I thought he tried to come back last year?
