Doug Collins for the win

The hiring of Doug Collins is good news for Bulls fans looking to reboot the franchise and for those who think Gar Forman needs to be fired.  What I envision happening is a freer flow of information within the org or the outing of roadblocks to the flow and confrontation.  Doug Collins isn't going to suffer any fools nor care about office politics.

Collins also won't be replacing Forman, who ownership still backs despite vocal fans calling for his job as well as a reputation in some NBA circles for spin control over accountability.
"Doug will not be a decision-maker," Paxson said. "None of our roles have changed. Fred's our coach. Fred has had a phenomenal summer with our young players. Gar and I continue to be at the forefront of this organization."
In many ways, Collins will be tasked to replicate the success Jerry West had as a adviser with the Warriors. West is largely credited with helping nix an organization thought to trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love.

First the Bulls are rebuilding so there are a multitude of decisions to make in this next year.  An advisor like Jerry West with GSW can play devils advocate and clearly Doug Collins is going to have opinions and share them.  Any decision will have to get past a review from Doug's perspective just as team personnel decisions had to get past Jerry West's scrutiny in Golden State.

Gar, as mentioned in this article and what I see first hand in recent press conferences, is a guy that uses platitudes and seems adverse to criticism and accepting responsibility.  I've seen this behavior with the old GSW President of Ops and it was toxic for the franchise.  While not evil, this behavior will squash dissent, debate, and creativity and lead to bad decisions and organizational dysfunction.  It took new ownership to fix the problem in GS.

The Bulls President is going to get a new perspective.  Doug's going to solicit and hear opinions from players, coaches and staff.  If there's something, he'll hear it and be able to evaluate and share.  While mercurial, he isn't a decision maker so his passion will be damped by the organization and his advisory role. He isn't involved with coaching so he will not abrade the players.

There's a role for Gar if he is part of a team that owns decisions as a unit.  In Golden State Riley, the GM, stayed on with new ownership and worked well but he wasn't autonomous and eventually Pete Meyer replaced him.
