I'm all for it at this point. I just want a proven coach or rookie coach that preaches defense. No Mike Brown, Sam Mitchell, Mike Woodson, or any of the other crappy coaches that have been fired within the last few years.

I wonder what the thought process is with his rotations. I wonder if he is playing players more that will be shopped in the offseason in order to boost their trade value. I don't know that the process right now is just to win games or to develop players and so without knowing I can't fairly judge.

It looks like "none of the above" to me.

I'll use post 5000 to join.

His rotations are awful and I think our defense would be better if D'Antoni or Don Nelson were coaching the team. In other words little to no defensive scheme would be better than Rambis' pack the paint and let them shoot 3s bull.

I'm walking beside the wagon, but I've got one hand rested firmly on it.

I'm trying so hard to be patient. So hard.

He's dealt with a lot of roster turnover both seasons along with very very young players. I told myself that I would wait until the end of this season... I'm gonna try and stick to it.

The problem is, I don't think there is much he can do to keep me from jumping on the bandwagon in these last games this season. His rotations and the schemes are discouraging to say the very least.

That is why my hand is "rested firmly on it."

I do think his schemes are not getting the best out of players. I disagree with the opinion that Flynn is just a flat out crap PG. I think he's serviceable but not with how we use him. I think Sessions and Wesley could play better in a different system as well. I don't think we maximize the potential of our guards.

Thats about the best we could expect if we made a change.

I'm on board. However, I feel we'll go with one of our bench guys to replace him and truthfully only Bickerstaff shows any promise as far as I'm concerned.

As a Jazz fan looking from the outside in, I think Kahn probably deserves the ax far more imo. Rambis does seem to dislike AR though which is weird since he's pretty decent.

It's easy to say "fire him!" Who would be a better option, who could we realistically get?

I think Kahn has done a decent job. Just don't let him draft.

If we fire Rambis, I'm sorry but no more upstart project coaches. We need someone that is proven and knows how to get out the cellar. If we can't find that kind of guy then I wouldn't have a problem with a less proven coach that has shown signs (ala Dwane Casey).
