Adelman is Officially Available

If he wasn't good enough for Houston and their high expectations with one playoff series win in the last 14 years, I don't think we'd want him either.
 
Adleman is a good, maybe great coach. He seems to know how to get the best out his players and in turn his players seem to love him. We could do a lot worse. Its all moot though, Ty is the coach of the Jazz next season for better or worse.

For worse. Trust me.

He probably watched the games :D

I'll give Ty the benefit of next year, but I really don't like what I saw or heard coaching-wise during the games he coached. Rookie coach, I know, but if you can do better, do it.

I think Rick Adelman would be a great coach, but it won't happen here.

Give me a break. He had a team of nobodies because McGrady and Yao spent most of their time injured and he got a lot out of all of those nobodies. Do you not remember when he coached the Rockets to 22 straight victories?

Adleman is a stud. I support Corbin, but I wish the Jazz could have considered him when Sloan retired.
 
The thing that makes the Jazz organization a class-act is exactly the thing that has been their downfall. Stick to the oldies, no matter what, no matter who is here, what they are doing, who the players are, how out of date something is or how under-skilled they are. Even loyalty taken to the extreme can be a bad thing. I would much rather have Adelman over Corbin, not because I do not like Corbin but because Adelman is a better coach. And right now having a rookie coach develop potentially the largest crop of rookies we have had is not a good thing. I don't think Sloan would have done very well with this many rookies either. Adelman on the other hand I think could really help us move forward.

Don't get me wrong, the last thing I want is for us to turn into one of those teams with a revolving door on the coach's offfice. But I think we jumped into bed with Ty awfully quick rather than just waiting out the year and seeing who was available.

But we are loyal to Corbin, so get ready for 23 years of Ty. Hopefullly he turns out to be really great, I wouldn't put it past him, but I wish we would shoot for the moon sometimes instead of being content with the hilltops.
 
Why would Adelman come to the Jazz when he could easily go to the Lakers, Magic, Mavs, and about another half dozen teams?
 
And why would the Jazz eat Corbin's contract while opening up the checkbook for Adelman?

I understand that he's much more proven than Corbin. But I think the Jazz need to act somewhat financially responsible sometimes. The Jazz aren't the US Federal Gov. The Jazz can't just create money out of nothing. To the Jazz, deficits actually DO matter.
 
Not going to happen, but I wouldn't be opposed to Adelman as a head coach. I'd much rather have a proven commodity over a coach with .286 winning percentage.
 
He will get a lot of offers once the playoffs are over and coaches retire/get fired.
I don't think he would even come here if he was offered the job.

Of course not. And I don't blame him. Utah is years (regardless of fans' hopes) from being a truly decent team in the west. He's old and I doubt he wants to oversee a rebuilding effort.
 
C'mon now Log, hiring Adelman in my mind would be what the Jazz are known for, playing it safe, getting a Vet to come and help immediately but never really seeing what the young kids can fully do. I know I've read plenty of those complaints over the years now the Jazz hand it over to these young kids and young coach and people flinch.

He may or may not work out but his back ground of asst coach and player is a very solid back ground to build upon.
