3 things the Chicago Bulls will want to leave behind from 2020
1) 3 things Chicago Bulls want to leave behind in 2020
Jim Boylen
Maybe the least popular head coach in franchise history led the way for the Bulls over the course of the last two seasons. Boylen registered a record of 39-84 (.317 winning percentage) during his bits and pieces of two years as the Bulls head coach. He had originally taken over for fellow former Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg early in the 2018-19 regular season, but that didn’t amount to much.
In mid-August, the Bulls officially parted ways with Boylen after his poor showing last season, where his team registered a record of 22-43. The Bulls management/ownership enacted changes within the Bulls organization from the front office all the way down to the scouting department and coaching staff during the offseason.
Donovan was hired to replace Boylen just over a month after he was fired.
Boylen was never really a qualified head coaching candidate, but Paxson and the Bulls never enacted a full on coaching search after they parted ways with Hoiberg a little more than two years ago. Things got really bad when GarPax handed Boylen a three-year contract extension seemingly for no reason following the Bulls bad showing during the 2018-19 regular season.

Not only should Bulls fans want to leave the poor results that Boylen got for this team in the win column during his time as head coach, they should be happy his antics are gone too. From the punch in clock, to the mutiny, all the way down to the weird timeouts and lack of chemistry with his players, Boylen was not the best head coach that even the most dysfunctional of teams will ever see.
