Head Coach Jerry Sloan to resign today :(

[Dad]

I just heard this on the radio. Any other sources? This makes me pretty sad. But may be a step in the rite direction?

It's on the D-News twitter. Damn.

 

[enchilada_style]

Looks like thats the case according to the Twitter feeds that i've read.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I can not believe this ****. What a way to go. After 23 seasons, he leaves before the all-star break. HOLY *****!

the championship is ours to lose now!

 

[Headtrip]

This doesn't make any sense coming after the reported extension. Who takes over now?

There must have been a real ultimatum made last night. Where KOC wanted Jerry to play certain players and Jerry said "make 7up yours."

Otherwise, why would the Jazz have offered him an extension just a few days ago and why would he have signed it? If the jazz had planned on going in a different direction, then they wouldn't have offered him the extension. If Jerry had doubts on whether he wanted to continue, he wouldn't have signed.

Something ugly happened last night.

Somewhere, Dan Issel is probably smiling.

[BetterThanESPN]

Whaaaat? This is just plain awkward.

KSL has learned that Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan and assistant coach Phil Johnson will resign at a press conference later Thursday.

Sloan and Johnson? Who the hell is going to coach the team???

 

[fargon_sneaky_bastage]

I just pooped my pants.

 

[The Thriller]

Phil Johnson is resigning as well...

That was actually signed at the beginning of this season. What is bizarre to me is that he's doing it in the middle of the season. Doesn't seem like Sloan. This is pretty damn stunning.

Also stunning is that Phil decided to go with him. I guess the guy is Ty Corbin now, right?

 

[Wham!]

this seems very unjazz like... why not wait til the end of the season to have him resign? does that mean Corbin is taking over for now?

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Tune into 1280thezone.com they are talking about rumors of what went down

 

[Okur13]

Wow. We are about to find out how good we really had it

 

[Captain Lobster]

Ty Corbin

 

[Get Down]

let the scott layden era begin
