Boylen, who has coached the Bulls since Fred Hoiberg was fired in 2018, had a rough tenure with the team during his year-plus at the helm. He compiled a 39-84 record, which is the second-worst winning percentage for a coach in Bulls history.
“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,” Chicago executive VP Arturas Karnisovas said in a statement Friday. “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.”
Karnisovas, hired in April, has been part of a larger organizational rebuild, which now includes a coaching search.
Boylen clashed with several players during his time in Chicago. Just a week into his tenure, his players threatened a mutiny after he forced them to do a conditioning practice the day after a back-to-back.
Recently, rookie forward Daniel Gafford ripped the coach during a Twitch stream, saying: “I don’t like him a lot, but he OK. Got some things he can work on, got some things he can get better at as a person and as a coach.”
Boylen has also been the subject of ire from Bulls fans, who predictably rejoiced on social media after he was fired.
