In a move widely anticipated since the Bulls hired a new management regime — and then doubted as he did what he said he'd do and took his time to evaluate — executive vice president Arturas Karnisovas fired Jim Boylen as coach on Friday, the team announced.
Boylen, who replaced Fred Hoiberg in December 2018, leaves with a 39-84 record.
Karnisovas will begin his first search for a head coach and the Bulls' third in five years since John Paxson fired Tom Thibodeau. General manager Marc Eversley will assist in the search.

The broad search is expected to include former Nets coach Kenny Atkinson and Nuggets assistant Wes Unseld Jr., among others, sources said.
Arturus wrote:After doing a comprehensive evaluation and giving the process the time it deserved, I ultimately decided that a fresh approach and evolution in leadership was necessary," Karnisovas said in a statement. "This was a very difficult decision, but it is time for our franchise to take that next step as we move in a new direction and era of Chicago Bulls basketball. Jim is a great human being that cares deeply about this organization and the game of basketball. I want to thank him for his professionalism and commitment to the franchise.

Think it would be good to put the official presser of the firing here also, so it's not missed. Kulaz13
