Head Coach Jerry Sloan to resign today :(

[Jazz Spazz]

"At least one Jazz player has been informed of Sloan's departure, source says." -tribjazz

I bet I know which one.

This sucks.

I bet I know which one.

Honestly, I'd bet it's Andrei. He was at the meeting.

Local radio is crap. Not once have they even speculated that the Jazz front office essentially could have forced Sloan and Johnson to resign. Seems to me more of a firing than a true resignation.

Yeah i've noticed sometimes you can get dumber listening to those guys. I like this rapid - reaction message board much better

Well maybe Sloan made the decision by himself. He always said that one day he might just walk away. In reality, I think KOC and Sloan had a parting of ways. I think KOC told Sloan he needs to play the young guys or that he was going to trade someone who Sloan wanted to keep or perhaps he criticized Sloan's player rotation. I have liked Jerry for the most part but I believe his stubborness has been a problem. I wish him and Johnson well but I think it was about time for both of them to retire. I just would have liked it to happen in a more professional way.

I want Horny or Stockton to be the next coach. Not Corbin

Too black?

C'mon now... obviously this opinion has more to do with Stock and Horny's long and well established coaching experience.

I'm not sure why anyone would assume that Stockton would be a great head coach.

Three letters: JVG.

But I'd be okay with Corbin.

R.I.P., Jerry.





*retire in peace

Still no stories or announcements on the major sport networks.

ESPN reported it about 5 minutes ago.

 

[David Stern]

KSL reporting that there was never an extension signed.

It is a sad day. I"m a BIG Jerry fan, but there comes a time. However, as most of you have said, this is the wrong way about it.

It sounds pretty much like a conflict of strategy - hence the solidarity of Jerry and Phil. I'll bet KOC (Millers) are ready do a financial move and Jerry said No - we really can do this and then the conversation deteriorated from there. I hope it is not player revolt... but that is the other option that would move Phil to follow Jerry. The final speculation, considering the rumor of AK in the room is that Jerry called him a politically incorrect something BLEEPING BLEEP and now he's suing Jerry or something. I missed last nights game. Was AK and Jer sideways?
