Rumour: Ime Udoka and Adrian Griffin frontrunners for HC job

[PolarBear]

Would be excited about either.

Is it official that Boylen is gone?

 

[dweebs19]

I'm a big fan of Ukoda but would be happy with either

 

[menacemanic]

Ime Udoka was the unsung hero whenever I played 2k...always got him in my franchise....

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Udoka’s girlfriend is Nia Long

I dont know what the holdup with Boylen is. Why wait til other teams fire their coaches and you dont have your pick of the litter anymore? Maybe he just wants both of these guys and wants to see them work together.

I know we are stuck in only black lives matter mode, but this guy seems fixated on calling out wanting the black GM and now wants a black coach. Is he eliminating alot more candidates just because they are white?

 

[zack54attack]

Both are upgrades, obviously. I'd be intrigued by Ime Udoka..

well in that case, it wouldn't be bad to have Nia Long courtside at the United Center

I don't disagree.

Here's my concern: If you were Udoka, wouldn't you want to wait out Brett Brown?

Depends. I think Philly is going to move some pieces and kind of "restart on the fly".

But still, Philly has a lot more talent now than the Bulls. I must confess I've been on the Adrian Griffin train for while, but that could be that I don't really know a lot about Udoka. The fanboy in me says that him working with Pop for a number of years makes him much more attractive, but so did Boylen. So, the main question about Udoka for me is he more Boylen, or more Budenholzer?

 

[dweebs19]

I agree. Idk why Udoka would take the Bulls job when he could take the Philly job. They have more talent than the Bulls and that coach is getting fired sooner than later.

Fair. Maybe he wants a fresh start and build his own team? Idk. Gotta imagine they are going to pick between Embiid and Simmons. Then would have to see what else happens.

 

[anotheridiot]

If either of them really wanted the job they would be pushing for the bulls to shit or get off the pot already. This is making me think that we are taking the guy left not the guy we really want. Yeah, that stupid extension will be paying Boylen for what, two more years after he is fired, and first time coaches should be forced to prove their worth before getting a 5 million dollar per year salary. But we pick a guy and it shows we are determined to get who we wanted. Otherwise, co head coaches sounds like what he wants.

 

[Rob219_CBMB]

Ime Udoka please.

am I going about this wrong again? Are both of these guys on teams who currently have a shot at this *title? Seems we could still fire Boylen.

There was an article posted on this board a couple weeks ago. Basically AK and Eversley are trying to change the perception of the Bulls organization by doing things correctly and not cutting corners. So they're not going to fire Boylen until giving him a fair shot by meeting with him in person.
