Corbin needs to be fired immediately

[HighlandHomie]

He can't be faulted for the personnel on the roster that wasn't necessarily built for a playoff run this season, but our defense has been awful all season for the most part. Much of that has to do with effort. Either players don't fear Corbin enough to exert maximum effort at all times, or Corbin can't bring it out of them. Either way, that's on Corbin.

Corbin has gotten better with subbing, but I still find myself scratching my head or screaming "What the ****!?!?!?!" every so often when I see a certain lineup on the court getting trounced or a see a player who's been playing really well sit on the bench for extended periods of time.

I don't know what the Jazz are waiting for. Maybe they aren't firing him now because they figure, what's the point? Just want to wait until the offseason? If Corbin starts the season next year as a head coach of the Utah Jazz, I think all Jazz fans should organize a boycott and if no changes are made an actual revolt on Greg Miller. Who's in?

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Im surprised people haven't revolted in New Orleans. They extended Monty Williams, and dude hasn't had a winning season since he had Chris Paul the one year he was a head coach.
Corbin pretty much = Monty Williams.

That was a terrible effort last night. To the degree that Ty ever had them, he has lost them.

Firing Corbin would be dumb. Most teams experience a short burst of performance after a coaches firing. We face 6 very winnable road games, but they are also very losable, especially if the team is starting to give up on Ty. Keep Ty on for the tank. It's that simple.

I actually think it was more of the back-to-back, but maybe.

I haven't followed them as closely, but they should be better than they are this year even with their injuries. I'd imagine New Orleans fans are ready to see him go because he is crap as you pointed out. Anthony Davis is scary though. Crazy to think how good he is already and when you watch him the first thing you think is, "Wow this guy isn't even close to touching his potential."

So it's Corbin's fault if players don't exert maximum effort? I really get tired of hearing this. This isn't high school. These guys are professionals who shouldn't have to rely on a coach for motivation.

Sloan (and currently, many coaches like Pop, Thibs, etc.) wouldn't play someone if they didn't no matter how talented they were. Thus, if guys who played under him wanted to play they knew they couldn't drag ***. Very simple.

Lol. Sloan played Boozer a ton despite very little defensive effort and never questioned him at all.

If you kept it to defense then this would be a semi-respectable coach. You aired too many personal issues tho.

I've been back and forth about tanking. But the bottom line is that I feel like between Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors and Kanter we have the potential for a championship contender down the line (obviously some other integral pieces will need to be added). One of the keys to winning down the line will be developing winning habits and understanding what it takes to win. Those young guys will never learn/experience that if the organization is 'tanking' by having an incapable head coach who can't develop winning skills/mentality.

Even if we had the best coach of all time this season the odds are we wouldn't make the playoffs and end up in the lotto. That's fine. But at this point I couldn't care less if we end up with the 1 or the 14. If our young nucleus can gain the priceless knowledge of what it takes to win in this league for the sake of a worse pick in the lotto, I'd prefer that.

 

[franklin]

Memphis fired arguably one of the best coaches in the league and is now running a damn near identical win % with the next random rookie HC and two integral players in severe decline. Coaching is nowhere near the issue most make it out to be. It's an emotional scapegoat.

 

[footawn]

Hire Lionel Hollins.

You think Stockton and Malone were motivated by playing time?

I'm down. But he's too black for Utah fans.

The Jazz have been competitive in most games.

T'Wolves just destroy us because Love gives us such a huge mismatch. Kanter has 0% chance of effectively guarding him on the perimeter and Marvin can't keep him off the offensive glass. Favors does a better job, but is still mismatched on the perimeter. When Pecovic plays he destroys Kanter by getting deep position.

Before that we took the Blazers to the 4th quarter in their building and played a great game. Yeah, they didn't have Aldridge, but we didn't have Favors. We played hard and competed.

I'm not a Corbin fan, but he isn't that bad.

Never found Hollins to be that good of a coach...

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hire Lionel Hollins.

Nah.

Hollins got criticized for never playing the lineups that performed the best and being to conventional. I'd rather have someone who thinks more outside the box, or have Thibs or George Karl.

Thibs cause of defense obviously, Karl because I like the way he coached his Denver teams. Got them to play fast and take advantage of the altitude. I know his playoff track record is bad, but he is too good a coach not to break through at some point, given the right team.

What's the coach's job if not to motivate players?

As a Pelicans fan I can tell you the overwhelming majority want him gone. Me Included. I would also like to see Dell Demps gone with Monty.
