Chicago Bulls head coach Jim Boylen has been maligned due to the Eastern Conference club's poor performance since he took over for Fred Hoiberg last season.

However, Boylen — in his second season on the sidelines for the Bulls — would be surprised if he's let go due to the win-loss record.

Boylen told the media before Chicago's Tuesday matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder he doesn't see the Bulls' record being held against him in the event he is reevaluated in the offseason, per Cody Westerlund of 670 The Score Radio.

“I’m not worried about my personal record or my win-loss record. I’ve been asked to establish a style of play, to have a disciplined approach and develop a young group of guys. And in my opinion, we are doing that,” Boylen said.

Boylen has developed a reputation in short order in the Windy City after demanding back-to-back practice sessions with his young team. Known as a grueling head coach, he hasn't seen many wins in charge of the Bulls, only going 20-38 this season after a 17-41 season last year following his takeover from Hoiberg.

Jim Boylen has consistently approached his time on the sidelines as establishing a “culture” for Chicago, but the project has yielded mixed results. The Bulls have seen shooting guard Zach LaVine blossom into a fringe All-Star while rookie point guard Coby White continues to develop off the bench this year. However, Boylen simply hasn't clicked well with other franchise stalwarts in third-year power forward Lauri Markkanen and point guard Kris Dunn.
