Fire Sloan Today
Sloan good guy, but simply not innovative. Why was Harpring playing Kobe late in 4th qter when u have AK-47 on your bench? He doesnt use Ak-47's defensive abilities at PF at all even for a few minutes per game. The zone used in 1st half was idiotic!!! CJ miles minutes in 1st half made tv announcers wonder what Sloan was doing. Korver takes a couple bad shots he is banned to the bench.
Sloan was out coached in the entire series simple as that. A new coach is needed today...maybe van gundy, Hornacek, or even Tyrone Corbin someone young and innovative.
Jazz never win a championship without firing Sloan. If Sloan was coaching the Lakers and Jackson was coaching the Jazz, the Jazz win this series. I know it and Phil Jackson knows it.

i disagree...this wasn't sloans fault. I mean you're right, his biggest downfall is that he's scared to shake things up.
what we need is a hard nosed coach who will keep the system sharp but will try different things, and Phil Johnson is the guy. He's the one who encouraged Sloan to let Deron go one on one for that slam in the rockets serires, and he's the one always motivating the players on the bench.
it will be another year though.

If we fired sloan we would be in big trouble. Who would we hire in his place?
If he has lasted this long as jazz coach I say we let him coach until he physically can't do it no more. Not many sure things in life but Jerry Sloan roaming the sidelines as Utah Jazz coach is one of them
Sloan just needs 1 or 2 more defensive minded players on his roster

This isn't on sloan, he coached us back into the game in the final 2 minutes. Yes, I think his time is up, but don't blame tonights loss on Sloan. The Jazz fought hard, it's just hard to beat the best in the west when your supposed "all-star" takes his vacation during the playoffs.
Great season Jazz, we'll be back next year.

The Jazz were eliminated for no other reason than the Lakers' superior playing personnel.
We were defensively average or worse for most of this season, and that is not the basis for a championship team. That is purely an issue of talent. The Lakers would get nowhere near the free-throws and layups they did against us versus a defensively above average team.
Compare their offensive numbers for the remainder of the playoffs against those in this series, especially if they face the Spurs, and it will become clear, if it's inexplicably not already.

down 6 with less than 24 seconds to go in a playoff ELIMINATION game? of course we're going to be shooting 3's. if you think anything different, YOUR INSANE!

We started jacking 3's far before then, or were you not watching? If we hadnt, we would have lost by double digits. And Sloan had NOTHING to do with that. If youre giving credit to Sloan for coaching the last 24 seconds, you need to stop, because we didnt finish the comeback from that point on.

sloan is a great coach...do you guys have any idea what kaos the laker org. was in a year ago? my point is that your team is very very good, your coach is great, and i believe as soon as deron finds his malone, well lets just say i am not looking forward to it.
we all felt that way about phil last year as well...

I can't think of very many pro sports teams where the face of the franchise is the coach. Utah is one of the few. Jerry Sloan is an excellent coach. He is respected in every corner of the NBA. He's a hall of famer. Most importantly, he gives the Jazz a very distinct identity. If you don't know what that is worth you will when he's gone.
Fire Sloan Now? What an embarassing thread.

I'm a well known Sloan detractor, but this loss wasn't on him. In fact I think he did a pretty great job this year with one exception: Matt Harpring. Sloan's mancrush on him killed any chance of developing CJ Miles, and Harp's stone hands and slow footed defense on Kobe cost us the series.
