GettyThere's a sizable disconnect between the Chicago Bulls and their fan base when it comes to head coach Jim Boylen. - John Paxson — Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) April 11, 2019When the Bulls fired Fred Hoiberg and replaced him with Boylen in early December, they didn't even bother with an interim tag. Later in the season, Boylen got a slight raise for 2018-19 and 2019-20, which was part formality but also another hint of what was to come. President and COO Michael Reinsdorf has also lauded Boylen, and it's pretty clear the coach has worked hard to ingratiate himself with management. Jim Boylen could very well wind up having success as head coach of the Bulls, but he still has a lot of proving to do to a healthy amount of rightful skeptics.
