The last thing anyone should be concerned about is whether they retain Boylen. There's no fucking way. Just let things play out.

I think this is an important sign whether this new guy is really in charge or not. If he fires him and hires a new coach then that is a good sign. If they roll him back out then it is naturally going to be assumed that Pax is still holding the reigns behind the scenes. I want to have the confidence that LTG and others have that he is gone, but this is the Bulls and they have been a trainwreck for a long time.

The season hasn't been canceled. No one has fired a coach since play has been suspended. There is no viable reason to fire him right now.

He's done.

I'm fairly certain that Paxson would have fired him had he been in charge next season.

I actually believe that all of the empty seats this season was the real impetus behind the changes. People were really beginning to become apathetic about the team. That made Reinsdorf and Co get on their horse a little bit.

Oh yeah that's right. Dont want to ruin the good thing the Bulls had going before the season got cancelled.

The same thing was said after he showed what a clown he was as interim coach... and then they extended him.

They was not Karnisovas.

I will be very surprised if Boylen isn't fired.

He should already be fired but if they wait until the season is officially over it is not that big of a deal.

Given Boylen a full season was not something I agreed with but understood. Extending him was the incredibly stupid thing they did.

If the guy is worth a damn, he is going to interview key employees like Boylen and watch game tape. And once he does that, he will probably fire Boylen.

If Cowley is to be believed Boylen's whacking isn't as clear cut as first appears.

You still feel he is gone? THe big hitters have to be Pax and Reinsdorf.

He also thinks the situation is fluid.

This guy is going to clean house. There won’t be one player or coach left in two seasons.

If he does pull the plug on Boylen and the coach’s .317 winning percentage (39-84), here are three names to watch:

Kenny Atkinson — The former Nets head coach knows rebuilds and player development, and there’s no doubt he will attract interest from multiple places this offseason. His name floated around the Bulls when he was fired last month, but that was from outside speculation rather than anything substantial from inside.

Adrian Griffin — The former Bulls assistant — now an assistant in Toronto — has been praised by many as being more than ready and capable to lead his own team. His reputation is that of a perfect mix of being a players’ coach, but at the same time having a disciplined hand in the way he teaches and mentors. There’s been smoke around him being a Bulls candidate.

Tom Thibodeau — Much like a shark is put in the ocean to only swim and eat, Thibodeau was made a coach to win games. That’s what he does, everywhere he goes. He was continuing to float around to different NBA camps before the shutdown, and by all accounts has evolved from even his stint with Minnesota, let alone his time with the Bulls. Thibodeau would bring instant credibility to the restructure.
