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

I don't think I've ever seen this many tears and empathy in a press conference from the collective members of an organization before.

Not the Jerry Sloan I'm used to seeing...:(

[quote=KB2009Champ]Did Sloan say why he's leaving?

WTF happened?[/quote]No. And I highly doubt we ever really know. My guess is he was told this'd be his last year and he said to hell with it I'm out then.

I can totally see this franchise going downhill.

This is a douche move.

[QUOTE=Rose]this is unbelievably sad still. Who thinks this was because of players, what's the SLC reporting?[/QUOTE]
It's obviously because of the players. What other reason would he retire mid season?

He signed an extension two days ago!

The owner was almost in tears while announcing the new coach.......

Funny that the a good portion of the movie was filmed in Utah.

Wow, who could have predicted this happening? Especially after just signing a extension.

Sad that he had a falling out with players (D.Will in particular), and management. As good a coach as Sloan was, I guess it's time for a change. Jazz have really struggled the last two months.

**** Deron Williams. And AK then. That's my prime suspects.

[quote=Rose]**** Deron Williams. And AK then. That's my prime suspects.[/quote]Pretty sure AK and Sloan are really tight.

Kermit the Frog the next head coach of the UTah Jazz

Lotta BS here. Nobody just signs an extension for a year and then suddenly resign from his post. There was definitely something that was brewing within the team and the organization and it finally reached its boiling point.

I hope Utah sucks and players like D-Will realize that the world isn't revolved around them
