Snyder to step down - Woj

[Handlogten's Heros]

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.

Griffin reminds me of Udoka in that his name has been in HC hiring rumors for a long time and no one has given him a chance. I want a guy like him that has grinded hard and will give everything now that he has his chance. Bryant may be a good dev coach and I'm fine with that hire even though its the CAA hire.

Not saying I’d be interested in him to replace Q, but is Jeff Hornacek coaching anywhere right now?

Horney just quit the Rockets.

TJ and Shams are coworkers so I'm sure they share sources and information for Jazz news

My new fear is that with a new head coach the front office will think "this will be enough change" and run back the same roster. I want to see new players man.

Locke's show today points towards Ryan Smith and new ownership playing a big factor in Quin stepping down. That wasn't explicitly stated, but Locke talked about how much control Quin had over things: like the weight room/locker room/chefs/basically everything in the training facility and how it worked operated. Quin was super detail oriented and liked things done his way. The way Locke said was like "a bunch of new internal layers" which to me says ownership/Ainge.

Also Locke didn't drop any hints about Rudy being gone. If anything it sounded like he might be staying (but he really didn't give anything either way from my listen)

This is the Snyder I loved

Seems like he decided he wanted to be the players' friend more than their coach.

I missed this Quin Snyder in the last couple of years. He stopped holding players accountable and/or they just stopped listening. I don't know what happened, but there was a distinct difference.

Or ownership gasses up a certain player and let's him know the Jazz are ready to do anything to appease him, so it makes listening to anyone pointless.

Other than not being able to run a system with 5 shooters, defend a system with 5 shooters or develop young players, nothing falls at Quin's feet....

What the **** are you talking about? His system with starting 5 of Mike Conley(worst Mike Conley has ever been in the league) - Donovan Mitchell - Royce O'Neale - Bojan - Rudy was top offense in the league two years in a row. This team has no business being this good offensively. He's developed plenty of young and old players. His failures IMO were on the defensive end and in failing to instill defensive accountability from his perimeter players.
