Chicago Bulls: Extending Jim Boylen dispenses massive mistake

Who would have guessed that the Chicago Bulls front office was set to make a good decision with the impending Jim Boylen coaching contract situation coming up for the summer? Most Bulls fans would agree with the opinions of the national media that extending Boylen and making him the official head coach for this franchise is a big mistake.

This news about Gar Forman and John Paxson signing the rumored three-year contract extension to officially make Boylen the head coach for the Bulls after firing Fred Hoiberg last season doesn’t surprise many. But, it is a reality check for an intensely passionate Bulls fan base that had to be hoping the front office would try to salvage some type of coaching search this off-season.
