Jerry Sloan planning on returning to coaching
Please Jerry come to New York and save us.
"My energy level has changed a great deal since I quit coaching," said Sloan, who is an avid walker. "It's changed a lot now. I've had time to work out. I feel better.
"I had a chance to relax, to do something that I haven't had the time to do in 30 years. That's rewarding. You have time to spend with the family and have Thanksgiving and things like that. I enjoyed all of that. But [returning to coaching] is a decision where, if somebody talked to me, I'd review the situation like anybody else and take it from there."
"I think if the right situation came along, whatever that is," he said before pausing to ponder. "I don't know what the right situation is. We'll have to wait and see, I guess."
He'll be waiting for the phone to ring again at his home in Utah, where he became the NBA's third-most winningest coach of all time (1,221-803) before abruptly stepping down last February. After 23 seasons, the job became too taxing for the longest tenured coach in league history.

Dont go there Jerry!
Donald Sterling wont pay you well.
LA has too much smog that will affect your health.
We're closer to competing for a title than the Clippers are.
Melo/Amare are in their primes and need a coach like you to get them to a Championship.
We dont flop.
Amare knows the Pick & Roll.
Its New York.

Re: Jerry Sloan planning on returning to coaching
I've said too many times, I don't Sloan is a good fit for this current Knicks roster. If he were to come (and he won't, he'd hate the NY media) he'd change the roster and I can't imagine him coaching both Melo and Amar'e.

Re: Jerry Sloan planning on returning to coaching
Sloan would honestly be perfect for the Clippers. I would be willing to fire Thibs if the Bulls could get Sloan to replace him. I like Thibs and I think he is a really good coach but Sloan is a legendary coach.

Yeah, I think Sloan could really mold Griffin into something special. Definitely more so than VDN can. Blake just has so much raw potential at this point, he needs a great coach.

Don't go there, Jerry!
You're white, so the chances Sterling marginalizes you is close to 0%! He'll find some bullshit reason to can VDN and you can have his salary on top of your new one!
New York only has Amare and Melo, and those guys are ugly. Cosmopolitan Magazine ranks Griffin and Paul as the #1 and #5 best looking players in the NBA
Griffin is in his second year, but has the mentality of a veteran, and Chris Paul is about to hit his prime shortly. The Malone/Stockton comparisons would make you the GOAT (not the animal).
We live in Hollywood and our flopping is merely an extension of our culture. Acting at its finest!
It's Los Angeles.

Certainly not with the scrubs we have right now.
Only Knicks players guaranteed to be back next season are Melo, Amare, Chandler, Shumpert, Jorts, & Fields. That leaves 9 open spots to work with.
I'd let him build this team any way he wants if he took over.
Melo/Amare needs a coach like Sloan to push them to the next level. I
Its not like either guy has been un-coachable, but they need someone with that "edge" that Sloan has who will motivate them to play hard consistently.

LOL!

He'd have a bigger problem with Baron.

You're crazy! No way would the Bulls be playing the D they are playing with Sloan as coach. He was still trying to play like it was the late 80's early 90's. He never adjusted to the rule changes. Just look at the Jazz this year. Playing much better D than they have since Stockton and Malone left.

Unfortunately they'll have very little flexibility to do anything. The money is tied up in 3 guys.

Coaches as a lot are lucky to be so overrated. Results in a real nice payday.
