Head Coach Jerry Sloan to resign today :(

[Scat]

I think most likely KOC got on Jer's case about not playing certain players and how he needed to start playing them more. Sloan is definitely a "my way or the highway" kind of guy. He may have simply decided that he could not tolerate being told how to coach the team and decided it was time to resign.

This may be just as much about Sloan's inability to compromise as it is anything else.

Johnson has been consistant in saying he would retire when Jerry retired or be done when Jerry was done.
have always thought Deron was a punk, but I still cheer for him. However, if he had a hand in this to heck with him. It was his piss poor play that cost the jazz the game against the Bulls, it wasn't Jerry who made him throw 2 bad pases, take a wild shot and let Rose steal the ball from him.

Thanks for your loyalty and hard work as a coach and your contribution to the game. You made us proud to be Jazz fans. Class act.

Didn't Sloan re-sign last week?

SLTRIB: Sources say building tension within Jazz, frustration with system, chemistry lead to Sloan stepping down.

This is a weird situation for me...and Ive only been watching since 1992. I can only imagine for you Utahr residents...

KSL reporting that there was never an extension signed.

They said the extension was signed months ago, and a random reporter from somewhere heard he signed an extension and thought it was recent... then ran with it.

I heard he was retiring because he finally got a login for Jazzfanz and heard some of the things posted about him.
Thanks alot guys.

... a total of 245 coaching changes were made during Sloan's tenure with the Jazz.

how many of those changes brought about the desired results?

Maybe it was a "resign", "re-sign" mistake - a common occurrence on Jazzfanz.

Maybe KOC brought in AK to talk Sloan out of leaving. "As the Jazz world turns."

Another teams reality is our reality.

Its risk to be sure...I am willing to see if it works.
