The Official Please Retire Jerry Sloan Thread

[David Stern]

We all know that we aren't going anywhere with this fool, so can somebody (like Greg Miller, his young wife, or even Deron Williams) please coax him into retirement?

Anyways, I'm secretly hoping that we lose out from here so that Sloan will finally see that it is time to move on from the Jazz. I can't wait for the day when he will ride off on his John Deere to his farm where nobody will have to question his substitution patterns, among other things.

This. If we take a step back and miss the playoffs, so be it. We know we're not winning it all with this knucklehead so why not take a chance on JVG or some young, up and coming assistant?

 

[Marty McFly]

I would love JVG. He's a good coach, and if we lose the game we get some hilarious post-game commentary.

 

[mellow]

Can we change this or atleast include "Please Retire Raja Bell" ?

Ty Corbin!!!

Ty Corbin!!!

Ty's going to find a head coaching gig eventually, probably as soon as next season(my guess is Minnesota since he played there), Sloan will still be our coach

This thread comes back every year verbatim while we are struggling.

Still makes me chuckle, though.

We don't need a new coach! That's right we don't!

If you really think BigAl, Raja and other newcomers will suddenly learn the sets, commit themselves to do their assignments CONSISTENTLY and start playing with some efficiency with real defense, not fake effort, and the team will somehow mesh together as a result of a coaching chance, you better stop fooling yourself.

Any group of guys with disciplined attitude, trust in any kind of offensive and defensive system and passion and will to do his job should be able to score WAY more than 81 pts against GSW. We might be seeing the worst offensive performance from any Jazz team. Combine it with lackluster, fake defense. I think players have a much bigger impact on the current downfall of the team than coaches.

In order for me to think that Sloan cannot use this flexible roster in an efficient and effective way, I, firsty, should not have question marks about the effort, the willingness to learn the system no matter how complicated or disciplined, unselfish it is.

We have been told countless times that Sloan is able to get the most out of the players given to him. I would argue that Sloan is not getting the most out of this group of players. Some will say that it is not Sloan's fault that the players are not doing their jobs. But I would argue that it is absolutely his fault. It is his job to mesh the players and talent. Some will argue that this team is full of new players that are still getting to know the system. I would argue that we are not making progress and in fact it seems we are regressing.

Rigid systems make for recruiting and optimizing every type of player nearly impossible in today's NBA. The game has changed. There aren't rosters full of 6'7 white dudes running around the floor getting uncontested layups anymore.
