Head Coach Jerry Sloan to resign today :(

[fallenchicken]

If the Deron connection is true, he's not going to WANT to stick around any longer with all the hate due to come his way. Only winning a championship single-handedly could turn away the impending wrath.

Hopefully the fanbase wont be so stupid.

So, are we going to a different system or we will play it out this season?

In any case, I think we need more scoring off the bench and still think Millsap and the Jazz will be benefited by having him in the 2nd unit.

I'm a huge Williams fan but teams that put players ahead of coaches never succeed.....

Funny that the article describes Sloan as complaining Deron blames everyone but himself. All I've heard from Jerry this season is guys don't compete.

Bottom line is, if I have to choose between Jerry or Deron that's a pretty easy choice.

Deron always blames himself for the losses...like he did last night.

 

[David Stern]

Oh good heavens, now everyone is pissed at Deron.

If the team had tuned out Jerry. I applaud Jerry for leaving. Was it too late? Maybe, but at least he finally did it.

Right or wrong this team was not listening to their leader, and not running around in his crop circle formations.
The time for change was now. Jerry did the right thing today.

Pretty much what Stock did when there was strife within the organization. Quit.

You must be new here.

Or unjustifiably optimistic.

Yeah, just ask the Cavs how well that worked out.

 

[Twin Towers]

My Office was just talking about that.

No way it happens. Sloan has never taught the triangle in his entire life. That is all Kobe knows. You think Sloan complains about Deron and wants to deal with Kobe? Really

They will have Brian Shaw coach the team next year

True. But youve already given Sloan 23 years. Why lose Williams and keep Sloan if you want to win?

haha. The latter.

Can't we all just agree to do what we normally do and blame AK for this debacle?

I wonder who AK was repping in the meeting? Was he there to support Deron or Sloan?

 

[VINYLONE]

Why would the Utah fanbase take Sloan side over Williams? IN this situation, Sloan has been given 23 years to produce. He has stayed consistent but has gotten worse the last few years. The writing has been on the wall that the players have been tuning out Sloan. Its almost as though some Jazz fans want Sloan as head coach and dont care about the players.

Jazz fans have no memory or emotional complexity, nobody will care about this in a year

Deron blaming everyone else is still a problem that wont be solved with Sloan leaving. It's pretty obvious this is true about DWill, both in his body language and his quotes.

Being a "competitor" and "a guy that just wants to win" is not the same as being a leader. IMO, Dwill is not the leader he is paid to be. More Brandon Roy than Steve Nash.

I thought we blame Booze.

I dont think it went down like that...I think he was probably there trying to tell Sloan to calm down or something and not to get too emotional.

If he's siding with Sloan then he'll be the next one to go.

This does not sound like Deron's doing.
It sounds like KOC tried to meddle and Sloan stood firm, as I would expect him to do.
That Phil would go with him, shows their solidarity.

I'm surprised that the discord didn't leak out sooner.

I just hope it isn't Ty as the new coach. What we would need is a players coach, like JVG or RudyT
