To a point but then you have to look at what the FO is trying to do and like it or not Corbin fits into that. I just don't see him being fired. He won't be renewed but he wont be fired either.
For all the fire Ty people:
- Thread starter green
- Start date

I think this is fair - you give him time to work Burke in. Ultimately it will make little difference in terms of wins and losses. Burke is going to be wildly inconsistent this year - much like Hayward was his rookie year.
Otherwise, if they keep Corbin, to hell with it. Send Burke to D-League. And while you're at it, send Favors, Kanter and Hayward there too - I don't want their fingerprints on this train wreck!
The Jazz have been very competitive and enjoyable to watch for good stretches of time, miserable at others (as expected). I don't see what you're actual demand is.

That is funny man. Almost every thread is the same whining stuff. Go back and read pages and pages of criticism that was said about Sloan. People were complaining about the same thing. Just watch games where Jazz players are wide open and see how many shots they miss. I don't know what the team is shooting but most games they are around 40 percent.
I have no idea if Ty will make it through the season but I think the Jazz have generally tried to honor contracts. However, I won't be surprised if he is fired because it is the NBA. Look at all the coaches who got fired with winning records last year.
As a Jazz fan I would like to at least give Ty some time to get back most of the roster and play a few games together before they abandon ship.

What is your definition of "good stretches of time"? 2 Minutes? 5 Minutes? A quarter?

People generally complained about Sloan's rotations than anything else. Honestly, we just need some fresh faces for the franchise. Sloan is not the answer and shouldn't come back. The Jazz organization needs to stop having so much loyalty and hire someone who is best for the team/players. Before someone says, "well who would that be?" I'm not sure and that's why I'm not a GM of a NBA team.

LOL - this is what I have so far.
OKC - solid effort
PHX - solid effort
Houston - about 2 quarters of solid effort - 2nd half meltdown
Brookyn - total embarrassment
Boston - total embarrassment except for a mini-comeback in the 2nd half
Chicago - total embarrassment
Toronto - total embarrassment - probably their worst game of the season but 4th game in 5 days on the road so give them a pass
Denver - extreme total embarrassment - complete humiliation at home against a marginal team
San Antonio - solid effort with an asterik - The Spurs sleep-walked through huge stretches of this game.
New Orleans - 2 quarter of lousy basketball (they were down by 13 at the half) followed by a solid effort in the second half against an exhausted team. Don't be surprised if NO blows them out by 20 tonight.
@GSW - total embarrassment
GSW - extreme total embarrassment - GSW hot dogged it through about half this game.
I stopped reading after this. Sloan quit the team. The front office didn't run him out.

Truth.
I saw some jazz effort during parts of some of those blow outs. But is has not been consistent.
Deferent answers for different people. Some would be thrileld with a 2-39 record not me.
For me it is not the record but how Ty plays the team. If it is a ton of time for Lucas, Williams, Jefferson, Biedrins and Harris while Burke, Hayward, Kanter...all sit then he has to go.

Wow, I've only watched these games, thank you spider senses.
If you like it or not, Al Jefferson was Corbin's lifeline on offense and Al deserves credit for it. He can do his thing no matter how bad the offense is set up. It wasn't the team's fault nor Al's that he became a black hole over stretches.
ALL of you who still defend Corbin need to wake up and quit making excuses. Corbin hasn't improved much if any since he started. He modernized the defense but that's about it. The argument about loyalty and image is seriously, utterly ridiculous beyond belief. He got this job (undservedly) solely because of this organization's belief and loyalty in their own staff. Then he got extended based on the same principle despite his subpar coaching. Come on, just cut the losses...
I don't have much knowledge about alternatives, but there are enough ex-NBA coaches available and many good European coaches that would gladly take the job.

Really the only person on here who 'defends' Corbin is Franklin. Mostly, people are either calling for him to be fired, or they are saying that this team sucks horribly on purpose, and Corbin is just along for the ride. We are losing by design of the front office, and we are doing a helluva job at it. If we hire another coach mid tank, it does not really improve anything, other than not having to hire one in the offseason. I would rather just wait the year out, and hire a new coach in the offseason.
I've rarely defended Corbin. All I can add is objective observation and fair reporting of facts. Also, I can't help that my opinion track record is nearly flawless (now to include my early call for Parker>Wiggins that every national reporter is now on board with).

I mostly agree with you when you post.
