Brian Windhorst just said on ESPN 1000 that he believes Bulls coach Jim Boylen will be back because he doesn't think they’re (Arturas Karnisovas and the front office) going to pay two coaches.

Well, this sucks. Brian Windhorst of ESPN appeared on ESPN 1000 today and gave Bulls’ fans quite an alarming take. Brain said that the new Bulls front office, consisting of Arturas Karnisovas and company, might be retaining Jim Boylen so the team doesn’t have to pay two coaches.

Keep in mind Jim Boylen had $1M of a $1.6M salary guaranteed for the 2019-20 season. This will give the Bulls flexibility in offseason if/when they decide to conduct a search.

The Bulls have been linked to many names since AK and company have taken over. These names include Adrian Griffin, Kenny Atkinson, and Ime Udoka. Two of these names mentioned, Griffin and Udoka, have previously worked with Karnisovas or Chicago Bulls GM Marc Eversley.

Most Bulls fans were wanting change because Boylen has been unable to show them why he is the right choice to bring them into the future. At this point, is it “be patient with the new front office?” Or is it “same old Bulls?”
