Head Coach Jerry Sloan to resign today :(

[slipperysalee]

Is it ironic that the mubarak also stepped down today?

Well, they were both dictators.

Oh, come on. Too soon?

Jerry Sloan and Phil Johnson. I feel 100x worse than Sloanfeld did when Boozer signed with the Bulls. Rejoice if you want, but for me this is a dark, dark day for Jazzbasketball. It's times like this I really miss Larry Miller.

Agree there. I was stunned to see the news and it felt surreal for some time.I was wondering whether I read it right.

I hope for Deron's sake that he wasn't a big part of this. If he was, then I would lose a LOT of respect for him. A lot. Same with the organization.

Jazz are going to find out how tough life is going to be without Sloan in the long run.
It is never going to be the same again

Stockton had a similar exit too, although his was a little more planned. Rumors of clashes with Marc Jackson throughout the season and an emotional farewell. Sad to see two icons of Jazz depart the way they did

Oh really? Based on what?

Is it ironic that the mubarak also stepped down today?

Isn't he still in power?

I think he gave his powers to his vice president who is just simply a puppet to him. The Egyptians know that.

at least we had this...

Sad day. So many great memories with sloan on the sidelines, amazing work ethic and there will never be anyone quite like Jerry. Also gonna miss Phil, so loyal and such an awesome thing to go out with jerry and not take the big raise.

Phil and Jerry were a timeless duo. The Jazz as an organization and the state of Utah as a whole are better for having had these men run the team for so many years. They will be greatly missed. Greatly.
