Jim Boylen the favorite for Utah Jazz Coach according to odds

[Elizah Huge]

According to Bovada, the odds on the next Utah Jazz coach are:

Jim Boylen - 2/1

Ettore Messina - 4/1

Mike Longabardi - 11/2

Andy Greer - 11/2

Brad Jones - 11/2

Jeff Van Gundy - 11/2

Lionel Hollins - 6/1

Stan Van Gundy - 15/2

What do you guys think about this?

Zero chance Boylen is hired. No "new" GM, making his first hire, is going to risk his future on a wildly unpopular coach. Lindsey can easily survive a failed Name Coach, can most likely survive a Messina, but a Boylen failure could be catastrophic to his reputation.

My vote is still for Karl.

Malone?

I think Ettore Messina is the guy. But I wouldn't be surprised if Utah went and hired someone like Quin Snyder.

I can't think of a worse hire than Jim Boylen. The dude killed the Utah program and he would not be given a benefit of the doubt. Players had to calm him down during time outs. He makes SVG look like a calm coach. DL must feel he is unfireable to even consider Boylen.

Agreed.

Which is why I believe this is merely red meat to keep the radio busy while he makes a play on the real target.

Boylen would be better off as a football coach. I get there are intense coaches, but even the most intense are able to control it so they're not constantly lashing out. I mean, Jerry Sloan was intense - the guy had a death stare that would make your gonads shrivel up and die, but he knew how to control it. As angry as Sloan got, on the whole, he coached rather levelheaded.

Boylen is not levelheaded. Boylen is turned up to an 11 all the time and it was embarrassing, as a Utes fan, watching his antics. He wasn't Rick Majerus intense or Jerry Sloan intense. He was childish intense.

But hey, at least he plays defense...

I think the millers wanted to keep Tyrone, and are mad at the fans for pushing their hand. They leaked Boylen's name to punish us.

The good news is that anyone will sound better than boylen when they finally announce him (or her).

I am going to give the new coach a chance just as I did Tyrone. I will say that I don't care for Boylen as a candidate for the job. I will still give him a chance if he is hired.

It would be so cool if the Jazz hired a female head coach. There would be so much on the line, so many careers put in danger. It would be like living a dramatic sports movie. I would hope the right group of players would rally around her.

Dude, I already saw that movie, EDDIE,

DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!!
It is probably one of the worst movies ever made.
Also brief partial nudity,
INVOLVING GREG OSTERTAG!

I think they need to cross the barrier with a "female" player first. Sign Griner as a FA?

 

[framer]

Also, no way will it be Boylen. If the average fan can look at the situation and see the obvious risk and problem, there have to be people close to management SCRREAMING about how bad this would be. I suspect that somebody saw DL at dinner with Boylen and freaked the heck out. Boylen may have been discussing head coaching opportunities with DL, but it wasn't for the Jazz job, because this would probably be the only place in the entire NBA that would hate him before he even started. The whole non-Utah market is pretty large and wide open for Boylen.
Ironically, I suspect viewing Jazzfanz counts as "research" for some reporters and oddsmakers. Consider the source. . .

I'm calling it...Bill Lambeer.

How many qualified players in the league played more minutes per game than Kanter? How many teams are in the league? How many starters?

This shouldn't be too difficult to understand. 6th men routinely get more minutes than 1-3 starters. Kanter got starter minutes.

146 players logged more minutes per game than Kanter. There are 439 players in the NBA. Kanter was in the top 33.48% for minutes played.

Agreed. 20 candidates is a smoke screen. I think its going to be Stocktan if he wants it. In Utah even if we lost 60 games the seats would still be filled.

Hmmm.....there's a good way to doubly hate the Boylen hire if it happens. Take your $1000....$500....$50....whatever you would spend on Jazz tickets next season, bet Boylen doesn't get hired, and if he does....you're pissed because you lost money and because you didn't want him in the first place. You're forced into a non-attendance protest.
