When an NBA team makes a change to their front office, it usually means a change to their coaching staff is coming as well. The Chicago Bulls have bought in a new general manager, which means that Jim Boylen will likely be relieved of his duties. One of the candidates that they could bring in for an interview is former Sacramento Kings head coach Dave Joerger.
Boylen likely would have been out of a job either way. The team didn’t seem to improve under his watch despite a slew of young talent, and it seemed as though the players themselves had grown tired of the coach that took over for Fred Hoiberg in December of 2018.
