NBA fans are pleading for the Chicago Bulls to hire a former NBA point guard and coach, just minutes after the team announced it had relieved Jim Boylen of almost head coaching duties after nearly two years.
The Bulls hired Boylen as head coach in December 2018, but after missing the playoffs two seasons in a row, the team decided to go in a different direction.

“After conducting a comprehensive evaluation and giving the process the time it deserved, I finally decided that a fresh approach and evolution in leadership was needed,” Bulls president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas said in a statement. “It was a very difficult decision, but it’s time for our franchise to take this next step as we move in a new direction and era of Chicago Bulls basketball. Jim is a great person who cares deeply about this organization and the game of basketball. I want to thank him for his professionalism and commitment to the franchise. ”
There are several former NBA coaches on the market, but fans called on Chicago to give ESPN’s NBA analyst, and former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson a call.

Jackson has been out of coaching since 2014. He was released by the Warriors after going 51-31 with them. The Warriors would eventually hire Steve Kerr, break the record for most wins in a season and win three championships.
He is still a hot commodity among coaches with free agents, although the analyst performance has been good for him. Jackson colleague Jeff Van Gundy has also been rumored to be appearing for the Brooklyn Nets.
Jackson told reporters in July that he would get another shot at coaching.

“I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to coach again. “I had a blast at Golden State, building incredible relationships that will last a lifetime and I look forward to the challenge of coaching again,” he said, according to the New York Post.
