Haha! Wrong.
If anything he's been humble and stated many times he feels blessed to have kept his job for so long, and the have a PG like Deron. Get your facts straight.

That's your opinion BabyPeterzz. In no way a fact though. Neither is my opinion about Sloan's demeanor.
I could say get your facts straight, Sloan is a ego maniac. Nice try though.
No. You are stating your opinion. The fact is Sloan has never said anything ego maniacal. He's been nothing but humble. You see what you want to see. I've met the guy, you're wrong.
If you want to talk about his mistakes, which he's owned up to on multiple occasions, or his short comings that's fine. I have my own issues with his coaching. But spouting off baseless crap like this is worthless.
Nice Jr. High comeback, You've met the guy? So you are now stating facts?
So have I. I've been to a practice have you? I've had a conversation with him before an after games. Should I start stating "facts" now?
You've stated your opinion. Once again, in no way is that a fact.
Whatever, bro.
What don't you understand about what an opinion means.
You disagree with me. Why not leave it at that or try to debate it like an adult?
I'm not trying to say your opinion is garbage or completely off base like you are with me.
I repsect what you are saying if you return it.
It's fine if you love Sloan, want him here, and think he has zero ego. That's great bro.
on a different note...
When the national media talks about Jerry Sloan they usually say the same things. Jerry Sloan is a tough minded coach that gets the most out of his players, and
preaches tough play. While I agree with his own toughness as a player, he has got a lot of out average teams in the past, and our teams in the 90's were tough... I ask you all this.
Is Sloan getting the most out of his players this year?
When was the last time the Jazz had what you'd call a "tough" team?

Sloan is a straight shooter he says it as he sees it, has he been here more than 20 years yes, has he outlasted every player of the past yes, Does Sloan have an ego yes to survive in this league as a coach or player you need to have an ego. Phil Jackson blames his players all the time should he be fired for someone with no ego.
Like I said Sloan calls it as he sees it if the team doesn't hustle he calls them out, if they don't play defense he calls them out if it's his fault he calls himself out when the team deserves credit he gives it to them.
All of these points are facts. My opinion is it's good for a coach to have ego as long as the player or coach is not full of themselves. Some of you only see the negative for the life of me I don't know why there are so many Sloan haters he has brought great internment to this state for years, and because of his efforts we understand and know the correct way to play b- ball. As I see it this slump is the players fault not the coaches Sloans system is not out dated the system in question took the Jazz to two finals and lost, but it doesn't help that they played the greatest player to ever play the game. Face it Sloan is a great coach!!!

Every Jazz fan on this board has placed an asterisk next to Phil Jackson, saying something like "His teams have always been stacked with the best players in the league; he's over-rated." Fair enough. But, what about Sloan? He made his pay check running a sturdy offense through two of the greatest players in the history of the game! What has he done in the past DECADE besides coach that surprising 41 win season? I'll admit that the guy has insight and skill. I don't think there is any debating that. But, his lauded past deserves a similar asterisk, IMO.
The thing that drives me crazy is how every Sloan team of the past decade has had a string of games where 'they just gotta learn things the hard way, dammit, and run the offense with pride'. I want more flexibility out of my coaching staff than that. I want a clear message on all levels/scales of this organization: we're going to do whatever it takes to win every game; the coach and his staff is going to improvise; the players need to improvise. Isn't that what the flex offense is REALLY about?
I don't think Sloan realizes how his inflexibility translates into the lack of flow within the offense; things feel too pre-determined. I don't want to hear about how that is TOTALLY the fault of the players.
(Also: DW, it is time to pull your pouty-boy head out of your spanked ***..... take over some mother-****ing games!)
