HC candidates

[Jazz Spazz]

I think Alex Jensen is the most deserving candidate.

I like the idea of Alex or Johnnie Bryant. Both are good coaches with history here.
It's risky but I like the idea of new blood and not a regurgitated coach from another team.
We gave Snyder a chance and I think it turned out well. He was multiple steps up from Corbin.
He was right when he left, something needs to change. Maybe he knew the team was going to try to keep both Don and Rudy, and he'd been there before, saw how it went, and decided to go Homer Simpson on the whole situation rather than relive it.

My feeling is that if the Jazz were just going to cater to Donovan and hire the coach he wants they wouldn't be interviewing like 14 guys. They'd give a courtesy interview to half that number.

They had better start to whittle the list down or the people doing the interviewing will burn out if there are too many interviews.

Or they'd want to interview everyone so they could say... "look coach x was the best candidate... we interviewed everybody". You also gather intel on the guys and other teams as you interview these guys. I'd interview anyone reasonable that would talk with me.

Ainge was already talking with Locke about how players should be involved in the convo... Locke also centered his podcast on the thought. They already controlling the messaging.

They have added the athletic director of the Provo Grandview stake to the interview list.

I'd almost bet the farm. I'm not against it... its just this franchise is hyper sensitive to narratives so they already getting out ahead of this stuff.

They are going to make it seem like a long drawn out process we will hear there are about three finalists which Bryant will be one of them. Hell, we may even hear they’re down to two to make it seem like it’s a really rough decision.

Many of these guys will be lead assistant material... I don't think its a farce but I think its Bryant's job to lose or refuse if he doesn't want it.

And what exactly are his qualifications? I get it that he's DMs buddy but what beyond that?

Don’t be disrespectful. Jazz assistant from 2014-2020 and Knicks associate head coach since 2020. Every single Knicks fan on Twitter wants them to fire Thibs and promote Bryant. He’s very highly regarded around the league.

OK how deep on the depth chart was he with the Jazz. Jensen has been the No. 1 assistant and Igor was here. How high in the Jazz pecking order did he get?
