If you don't get it...

People that have money deserve compassion just as much as you for losing something they've worked hard for too.

It's basic humanity.

This isn’t a job that’s being outsourced to China... they are firing an incompetent employee and giving the job to a more qualified individual. In a job that makes an annual salary that is 20x the poverty level, you need to perform. No net jobs were lost. They just changed hands. That’s how the world should work. Most qualified person gets the job.

I agree with you about the money part of it. Doesn't matter. However, I don't feel bad, at all, not even a little bit, for Boylen. Simply because he deserved to be fired because he sucked complete ass at his job in nearly every aspect of it. Also, the players didn't seem to like playing for him either and it showed on the court and off.

Not to mention he somehow managed to get in some sort of blood feud with the team chef, presumably in the off season.

He’s going to be without a team if he keeps playing like he did last year.

Woj and Shams make everyone look clueless. Those 2 get the first scoop about 99% of the time.

Obviously the national guys break things generally more often than the local beat people, but I'm not sure why this is coming up here. Neither Woj nor Shams broke the Boylen firing. The Bulls managed to keep it to themselves until issuing the press release.

Still doesn't mean that KC should get some kind of criticism over it. That's my point.

Heard it was over "portion sizes"

In my opinion, he's the worst coach we've had during my lifetime as a fan. Easily the least enjoyable it's been for me.

Agree. He was somehow worse than Hoiberg and I didn't think that was possible.

I get what you're saying but Boylen was terrible at his job. He deserved to get fired...and he'll be fine. :wink:

This is just fantastic news! I tried to give Boylen a chance when others had given up, but he repeatedly kept proving to the world that he was an abysmal coach and probably a worse person. Passionate for sure, but his passion more often his his crap personality than it actually worked out for the better of the team.

I'm glad he's gone, and I fully trust AK to make the next hire.

Like, to give background, I've never really argued that strongly for firing a coach before. Del Negro was a bad coach, but he also got assaulted. I guess I wanted Fred gone, but I think he was basically a good guy, just not a good coach.

Boylen is plain and simple not a good guy in the way that Hoiberg is. He got his job by kneecapping Hoiberg and being a politician, and then started his run by publicly humiliating his players.

He acted like a boorish jerk to players, opponents, fans and the media, and apparently various other people within the Bulls organization. In this respect, his tenure here was very much like his tenure at Utah, which left that program in shambles. That is, it's not like it's just some isolated case where he got mad and did something dumb. There's a track record going back a long way of him, frankly, treating people badly, overstepping bounds, and being nasty, embarrassing, or both.

I mean, I don't wish him dead or anything, but he's not a guy we should spend much time feeling bad for either. Not a good coach, and not a good guy either.

He had to save that TO a draw up a play with 10 seconds left and down by 12

Jimbo calling TO while the Bulls were up more than 10 points (and less than 30 seconds left in the game) also annoyed me as much as it annoyed teams like the Suns and Hawks.

Glad all this Boylenism is over. He can’t hurt us anymore!

paxson - relegated to advisor - ☑️
forman - fired - ☑️
boylen - fired - ☑️

I got my offseason trifecta, can’t wait to see who karnisovas hires as the new head coach.

Glad to see the organization make the move, Boylen was by far the worst coach in our sports town history. At least in my view.

I really hope so. He had no chance in Boylen's system. Zach, Coby and Lauri will be our leading scorers next season.
