Snyder to step down - Woj

Quin was fired or moving to the front office. Jazz are just being nice letting him frame it this way.
 
Tony Jones says Adrian Griffin and Johnnie Bryant are two names to watch in Utah's coaching search...he say's Griffin was one of the final candidates when Snyder was hired, and he interviewed well with the Jazz. Says the Jazz are looking for someone who commands buy-in and respect from the entire roster, including Donovan.

Quins departure doesn't change their offseason plans...they still have no plans for a full on re-build. They want to try to make a deep playoff run next season.

They've received a lot of calls about Mitchell and given a firm no... they will only consider trading Mitchell if they receive a monstrous offer.

They have received a lot of interest in both Rudy and Bogey.

Repeats again that the variance for the Jazz is very high...they could make multiple trades involving high level players or they could simply run it back with the bulk of the roster.

He’s done… he doesn’t know it yet but he’s likely not a rotation player again.

Who knows ? Considering how he talked over still wanting to play, maybe he can return, and he had an acl tear, not an blew everything posible on his knee type injury, as far as we know. He may not have a role as big as he once had here for a number of reasons, but he's still a really good spot up shooter, with passing/playmaking skills, who knows to play team defense at the very least.

People took him for done by playing pnr with Whiteside, but honestly, he already looked as bad to worse playing pnr with Ed Davis and bounced back with a can't jump over a journous Favors, and wasn't as bad when still played pnr with Rudy (but played much less especially these past 2 seasons).

oh wow. the bolded very interesting. can you provide that link? i'd be very interesting in reading that. thanks!
 
Not saying I’d be interested in him to replace Q, but is Jeff Hornacek coaching anywhere right now?
 
Thought this would ultimately happen, but still pretty crazy it actually has.

Quin was still a great coach for us. Great basement raiser and questionable ceiling raiser (possibly due to dysfunctional players).
I agree. I really liked Quin. I thought he was doing a great job building up the players he was given until the expectations skyrocketed and games of high importance hit him straight in the mouth and his two best players decided it's better to settle scores off the floor than to work together for the common goal. Now part of his job is to deal with that and still steer the ship in the right direction so he must bear some of the responsibility too.

With that said, I think a lot of people are massively underestimating Quin's offensive coaching. Donovan Mitchell - fallen off Mike Conley - Royce O'Neale - Bojan - Rudy is not the starting lineup of a team you would suspect is the best offense in the league two years in a row. But his(and the FO's) overreliance on Rudy as a defensive anchor ultimately doomed this team as a serious playoff contender. They just refused even to attempt diversifying our defensive schemes even after the current one was unequivocally destroyed in the playoffs, only for us to see it again this year... the exact same thing.

Overall I'm not as negative on Snyder and not as cheerful about his departure as many here, but I absolutely understand why both the Jazz and Snyder might want to try something different.
