JIM BOYLEN FIRED AS HEAD COACH OF THE CHICAGO BULLS

 

When the Bulls brought in Arturas Karnisovas on board in April to head up the Basketball Operations of the Bulls, I think just about everyone and their brother expected Boylen to be removed from his position swiftly along with all the other changes that happened around the front office, that did not happen. Instead, the front office underwent sweeping changes and Boylen remained put. As the saga dragged on throughout the summer we heard Boylen release a couple of statements all along the lines of him saying he would be "blindsided" if he was let go as head coach.

Chicago Bulls Have Reportedly Reached a Decision on Jim Boylen

These same sentiments were echoed in reports that Jim Boylen has had full support from ownership and Jon Paxson (who isn't making basketball decisions anymore). This made me about 99.7% sure Boylen's toe head would be back strolling the sidelines next year. Well we found out this morning I was dead wrong, Jim Boylen has officially been let go by the Chicago Bulls and I think this is probably Zach Lavine when he woke up and heard the news.

With Boylen now gone it feels like all the STINK from the Gar/Pax era has officially been washed away, AK now gets the opportunity to go through a real hiring process and pick his own guy for the job.

Woj mentions these four names here and there will be a blog later on detailing each candidate and who my preferred selection would be for the job. Until then, I need to go wilt away in corporate America for the next 6 hours. Go Bulls.
