I think the Jazz will choose an experienced coach....I don't want George Karl but if he is in good health I think he has good chances to be selected.

My vote is Lionel Hollins.

But if the Jazz had the bright idea to aim at an international coach then I would say Zeljko Obradovic or David Blatt!

Just my opinion but I think that the Jazz head coaching position would be an extremely attractive job opportunity for potential candidates. If you're a good coach, you can have your job for a lifetime... even if you're a bottom 5 coach in this league and have no clue what you're doing, the Jazz will give you at least 4 seasons to learn on the job. What other franchises can say that?
 
Stockton will never be an NBA head coach. He is old school and not willing to adapt to today's league. Read his autobiography, it was heartbreaking hearing him describe the last few years. He admitted that he was not an effective leader of the team in that era. He has enough self-awareness to realize that today's players/ prima donnas would drive him batty. He also wrote extensively about how much he hated being in the public eye and how he relished his time at home when people respected his privacy. All that goes out the window if he becomes an NBA head coach. I'd give him an outside shot at front office or assistant role, but even that is unlikely in my opinion. I see him being a great college coach someday. If Mark Few were not so young and successful, I'd put him as a shoe in for Gonzaga head coach.
 
Mark Price should also get a look--as a player he was a combination of Hornacek and Stockton. He is currently an assistant coach in Charlotte, serving in a similar role as Hornacek did for the Jazz: assistant coach and shooting coach.

What?! The team is at rock bottom. How much worse could they possibly get? There is nowhere to go but up. And the beloved Stockton would have the longest leash of any leash there ever was. Much longer than Hornacek has in Phoenix.

If Stockton has ever had an inkling to coach in the NBA, this would be the ideal time and opening for him. How could it be any more perfect?
 
And getting Stockton would obviously be a huge boost for the organization. The fans would be excited again and likely put up with several more years of losing with Stockton at the helm.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Jazz haven't already reached out to Stockton just to gauge his interest.
 
Longabardi. You guys keep ignoring this, but I'd put my money on him

History with Lindsay? Check.
Amazing defensive coach? Check.
Good with analytics? Check.
Forward thinking coach? Check.
Fit in with the Jazz payroll? Check.

I agree that this one makes more and more sense the more I'm learning about him. What I wouldn't give to see Itah play good defense? As long as the next coach either preaches (and teaches) tough defense or opens up the offense and runs. . . I'll be happy.

Too bad we didn't just promote Jeff Hornacek and then let him hire Mike Longabardi (defensive guru), Jerry Sichting (guard help and up-tempo offense), Brad Jones (everywhere man and player development), Karl Malone (assistant bigs coach) and Alex Jensen (more player development.) I think we'd be pretty damn good with that coaching staff.
