The Chicago Bulls are off to a disappointing 6-12 start and owner Jerry Reinsdorf is livid, so much so that general manager Gar Forman may finally be heading out the door.
According to Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times, Reinsdorf is beginning to turn his attention to the job security of Forman, who has been with the Bulls since 2009:
According to several sources, Bulls board chairman Jerry Reinsdorf is not only livid about the team’s 6-12 start and the continued sinking outside optics of the organization, but is beginning to turn his attention to the job security of general manager Gar Forman if the ship keeps taking on water.
The sources indicated that this is not a recent change of heart from Reinsdorf, but has been more of an accumulated bucket of questionable decisions. A bucket that could be near the brim.
Senior advisor Doug Collins’ opinion is carrying weight in this, as Collins has never been a huge fan of Forman’s.
The Bulls were expected to compete for a playoff spot this season. Instead, they have been playing inconsistent basketball and head coach Jim Boylen doesn't appear to know what he's doing.
Bulls fans have been calling for Forman and VP John Paxson's jobs for years. The famous “FireGarPax” mantra in Chicago may finally be coming to fruition, at least for Forman.
