It's Official! John Paxson has fired interim head coach Jim Boylan. 1st great decision of the offseason for Paxson.

According to Chicago Sports,

The Bulls fired interim coach Jim Boylan on Thursday, one day after he finished a 24-32 stint after taking over for Scott Skiles on Dec. 27. Though no official announcement has come from the team, Boylan was seen leaving the Berto Center after meeting with general manager John Paxson and a source close to Boylan confirmed the firing.


Now the search begins. Word is that Rick Carlisle and Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau are among the candidates expected to be interviewed. Stay Tuned.

Quick Notes: Scot Skiles is expected to sign a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. If that happens expect Boylan to be an assistant there.
