Please fire Snyder and get a real coach in the summer

I never troll here. Ever.

I've decided to let the Corbin thing go as it's more than sullied my reputation and it's apparently too complex of a discussion for fans to deal with.

I will tell you all that my Corbin support has always been genuine.

I'm sure Corbin is a fine coach, the problem is that he and the new management didn't see eye to eye.

Coaches in the NBA are in a very tough job. Look at Vinnie del negro. Everyone thought he was a horrid coach, but he was probably a decent coach that just had a bad relationship with Chris Paul for reasons not his own fault.
 
I wonder if frank would be so down on Snyder and up Corbin's *** if he weren't black himself.
Racism is racism..
 
Corbin was plainly told that he would be judged by the teams D. He refused to make D a priority and was fired for it. He did not coach well. He did not make adjustments well. He did not listen to management. He set his own destiny.

He probably ain't the first person to lose his job over refusing the D.

The way I see it, the Jazz needed to win while also developing young talent in order to sell something to fans.

During the year that got corbin fired most fans wanted the jazz to tank. Hard. We were openly rooting for losses.

In fact, the jazz were dead last In the league defensively when he was supposed to be developing a defensive identity

This is the most inexcusable part, given that Jefferson was on a top 10 defense the very next year, and Millsap has been on a very good defensive team in Atlanta. Maybe Corbin's teams were just very poorly built to be a defensive team, but more likely than not he is just not a very good defensive coach. Like Frank says though, he was not a bad offensive coach. I really don't think he was anything special, though. Not disappointed the Jazz let him take the fall for the rebuild.

That's more fan speculation. I bet Corbin would have loved to bench Kanter and play both ends of the floor. He did everything the FO wanted for years, so there's no reason to believe something like this. What, he suddenly went against the FO in his contract year, knowing the bad teams he coached had him against the ropes? Nonsense.

I can't take anyone's opinions seriously who thinks a coach could develop a defensive identity when starting a rookie point guard known for poor defense and Enes Kanter who puts up historically awful defensive numbers. Kanter makes Boozer look like The Glove. But I'm sure that was on Corbin too :rolleyes:
