Snyder to step down - Woj

Jingles, classy as always. I really miss him. The team was never the same when he got hurt. Honestly, one of the most depressing endings to a career in a long time. Joe deserved much better than going down to a torn ACL. Would love to see him play again but who knows if or when that’ll be. The basketball gods did him dirty.

Yeah I agree. this is definitely not cool. Especially in today’s environment. You just don’t know what someone is going through on the other side of the screen. No need to pile on.

I said he should play better. **** man. Context actually matters.

I said he needs to play better, but even if he did, it would have ended like Denver at best. So saying we win the series if he plays better was something I called out.

How you called it out as me blaming Donovan… something you say you do… you don’t.

Donovan could lay a steamer on your chest and you’d blame yourself for not having an obvious bathroom labeled.
 
I haven’t been through all 17 pages, so please forgive me if this point has already been brought up. Food for thought:

- This past offseason, the Dallas Mavericks and Rick Carlisle parted ways prior to last season after a long tenure and not having much playoff success since a Finals victory during Dirk’s prime. Carlisle was pretty much universally seen as a top 5 NBA coach. Dallas hired Jason Kidd and made it to the WCF’s in Kidd’s first year with the team.

- This past offseason, the Boston Celtics made a coaching change, moving Brad Stevens into the front office and hiring rookie HC Ime Udoka to lead the team. Stevens was held in high regard in most NBA circles. The Boston Celtics have made it to the NBA Finals in Udoka’s first year with the team.

Now before I get roasted, I’m fully aware that we don’t even know what our roster is going to look like at this point for whoever our new HC is. My point is merely that losing Quin is not the be all end all for this team. I keep reading tweets (mostly from media, but a few from the fanbase), that are all too keen to point out just how good of a coach the Jazz are losing. While I’m fully aware Quin is a good coach, he’s also a coach that didn’t want to be here and that certainly had his limitations. I’ll still never forgive him for the 25 point blown lead in the 2nd half vs the Clippers. Coaching cost us that series, period.

There’s no need for Quin’s inability to see his contract out for this move to set the Jazz back. Granted, it’s now on ownership and Danny Ainge to make the right choice on his replacement (amongst a few other franchise altering decisions that loom).
 
I'm related to someone that works at Best Buy and I hear that trading Ingles fresh off his injury was a big deal to Quin. Ingles was the captain of the locker room.

Dont tell jazz twitter, apparently Rudy and Don are already out the door and we are hiring Jim Boylen.
