Kevin McHale hopes to receive a call from the Bulls about their vacant head coaching position.

The former Timberwolves coach would like to be considered a candidate to replace Vinny Del Negro in Chicago.

"Of course," McHale told ESPNChicago.com. "You go in there and talk to [Bulls general manager] Gar [Forman]. I know Gar and John Paxson real well. And hopefully if it's the right fit, it's the right fit. That's what you're looking for and that's what they're looking for. They're looking for the right fit."

Minnesota fired McHale back in 2009.

"You got to wait and see," he said. "But I think Chicago is a great job. Derrick Rose, love him. Taj Gibson, love him. Joakim Noah, love him. You've got Kirk Hinrich, love him. They're tough guys, they play really hard and they get after it defensively and I think they're all just going to get better."

Regardless of any opportunity he receives in Chicago, McHale definitely wants to coach again.

"I'd like to coach," he said. "I had a lot of fun doing it. In the right situation everybody wants to coach. In the wrong situation, no one wants to coach. So we'll wait and see what happens. I've been enjoying doing the television work, though."
