Jerry Sloan steps down, leaves Utah Jazz! Era is over!

[QUOTE=protox]Wonder if any trades are going to go down before the deadline now?[/QUOTE]

Both Sloan and the assistant coach are expected to resign... :wtf:

I really, REALLY hope this is from some idiot who doesnt understand the difference between re-sign and resign. Didn't he JUST sign a new contract?

Still, end of an era.

This was to be expected.

The guy is getting old. He probably just wants to lay back and enjoy life now.

Sounds like BS. He just signed a 1 year extension.

Press Conference at 3 PM today.

What time is that on East Coast? :lol Is that mountain time?.....

[QUOTE=bagelred]When will the Utah Jazz coaching revolving door end? This team needs some stability.[/QUOTE]

They need to be more like Cleveland. We've had the same coach for 40+ games now.

"I will be available and already did something Jerry never could."

[QUOTE=NauruDude]always said hes a mug. Never uses AK47 as much as he could. AK47 is a weapon if used right. Finally Utah can challenge for title.[/QUOTE]
Good luck finding a better coach. I don't mind Jerry retiring ... but this is not how it is supposed to happen

One thing to consider is that Jerry is so respected within the organization that if he were fired, he'd probably be allowed to resign.

I think that's probably what happened.

Not surprised at all

It's an absolute SHAME that he has to go through this mid-season.. Just not fair to him and everything he's put into this franchise..
With all that said. It'll be interesting to find out who our new coach is, seeing as how BOTH Sloan and Johnson are hanging it up. :(

Thanks for all you did for the Utah Jazz. :cheers:
Championship or no championship, it was a fun ride with you at the helm.
