Sorry Chicago Bulls fans, Jim Boylen is not your problem

There’s been an interesting shift in the landscape of Chicago Bulls fandom as the “Fire GarPax” chants and rants have shifted to “Fire Jim Boylen” over the last month. The Bulls now sit at 7-14 on a season that began with some big promises from the aforementioned front office, and Chicago fans are justifiably upset.

It’s time, as in every struggling franchise that had big hopes, to play the blame game, and Boylen is the proverbial head on the chopping block, but is that justified?

I understand I am in the minority here, even in discussions with other writers at PAE, in not being emotionally outraged at the head coach (who I’ve seen referred to as an “angry egg”), but I also have been following this league and studying it for quite a bit now.
