The Bulls front office vote for Executive of the Year was a self-vote by Gar Foreman

Gar Foreman, he got a single vote for executive of the year. ... I still think it was himself I think it was himself it's like James Harden getting one vote for defensive player of the year yeah survey says it was himself

It's a secret ballot, so it is unverifiable, but fits the 'Fire GarPax' narrative of the era.

Reggie Bush, who's been pretty much a bust. So it's Reggie Bush, Lendell White, Vince Young, and Matt Leinart. Wow.

Bush had a productive 11-year career with over 5,000 rushing yards and a Super Bowl ring, but failed to meet 'generational talent' expectations.
