If this is because of Deron, I want Deron traded. I will show up to the next game with a sign I prefer Sloan over Deron

king everything, i know that change can be a good thing, but I don't think you're aware of how good of a coach you had. Although being that I'm not a Utah fan maybe I'm the one who isn't aware of the situation, but he always seemed like a great coach who got the most out of his players to me.

Jerry Sloan entrusted Deron with our offense. There is no way a relationship like that would call for mutiny.

What time is the press conference?

I'm speechless. I thought the Jazz organization was classier but to "force a resignation" midseason sucks. I'm speechless.

Been a Jazz fan all my 30 years. Sloans been here since I had any intellegent knowledge of the game. Its long past time for him to go. He has had too long, with too many bends made to his needs and too many years of doing it his way without the ONE thing that truly matters- a ring.

WHERES RED? RED!!!! ITS OUR DAY, MAN!!!! RRRRREEEEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!

What if "something different" sucks ***. I knew a change would eventually come but now what. The unknown could be good or bad. We'll just have to wait and see.

That must have been some loss last night.. how ironic that 3 of Sloan's former players (all of whom raved about him) ended up causing his resignation

Do you guys think Deron will be traded or ask?

Whats the worst that can happen? Two and a half decades of dissapointment? Been there- just BARELY got done doing that.

Its a chance I've been willing to take since Stockton watched too much of his last championship chance waste away from the bench in the Finals.

What the **** is going on? Seriously, I'm speechless. What the ****?
Sloan is not a guy that would quit midseason. I think a change could be really good for this team, but to see Sloan go out like this, it's just sad. There's gotta be something really big going on behind the scenes.

I don't think Deron is going to stay now.
