Locke hinting that Ty Corbin is gone?

It wouldn't surprise me if Corbin went somewhere else and found success. The Jazz job was never an easy coaching position.

Please tell me which coaching positions in the NBA were easier than the Jazz and why? Please explain to me why the Jazz have been one of the worst defensive teams in the league throughout Corbin's term as head coach? The only expectation placed upon him this year was to improve the team's defense ... and they got worse.

Miami Heat - Lebron James
OKC Thunder - Kevin Durant
Spurs - Vet Team/ Duncan and Parker
Timberwolves - Kevin Love/Young talented vets
.....


Do I have to do this for every team or can you just realize that coaching a team comprised completely of washed up veterans and players who are under the age of 24 (and none of them are clear/surefire All-Star's) is a difficult job?

Usually, young blood is the best at tough defense. You're talking about organized defense. A coach can at least fire them up to do the tough one if they are incapable of the other.
 
I just hope we target a good coach and make him the next Jazz coach. And I hope it's someone who actually knows how to teach defense, such as David Joerger (too bad we didn't try to sign him last year).

I've always said I don't have enough to judge him on. He's been extremely limited without any players who can force their will onto the opponents. The reason he has my support is because the advanced statistics from mysynergy prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he squoze every last drop possible out of the Mo-Al Lemon on the offensive end. There's virtually no argument you can make against his offensive systems using advanced player stats.

Between that and how he's proven to read the competencies of young players, and thus be able to bring them along at the perfect place, tells me he just might know wtf he's doing. But again, the jury will be out until he can coach a squad with at least one dominant player.

Big al seems to be doing a good job of forcing his will on his opponents

Just about every Jazz player from the Corbin era has played better once they left the Jazz -- can you think of any who haven't?
 
I think he will be offered a new position within the organization such as scout or director of player personnel. Don't know if he will accept something like that, as he will probably latch on as an assistant coach somewhere or be offered a college coaching job, but I think Utah will offer him an alternative position within the organization.
