***Official new head coach search thread*** (merged)

[The Fresh Prince]

This has probably been said but I didn't take the time to read 88 pages of posts so I will say it myself. All of this "coach search" is just the Jazz FO biding time until the Spurs finish the playoffs so they can make the Boylen hire... book it.

Shut up.

So President Rigby was on 1280 this afternoon, and I must say that Dennis Lindsey must be rubbing off on him...he didn't give up much. He would not confirm that the jazz are down to 4 candidates. He said that jazz don't just hire a coach they marry a coach. No word yet if attorney general Reyes will recognize the marriage, maybe that is why the coach search is now in its 7th week.

But he did talk sort of like maybe a decision had been made of some sorts. He said they were much further along this week than last week and that he expects to be even further along next week. He went on to say he feels very good and very comfortable and it feels right within his heart (abt 17:35). I don't know if that was about the process, about a specific coach or about the values they put in place.

He also said the candidates were excited and ...

Waiting!!!

Gentry would be frankly disappointing to me. I could get on board with Griffin or Snyder. The question mark is intriguing...

My fantasy: Messina as head coach, Stockton as 1st assistant.

This would make me happy too.

Rigby is so incredibly annoying. I would rather dig my eardrums out with a spoon than listen to that sanctimonious know-nothing yes-man ever again.

Waiting!!!

He said he was excited about the mindset of the candidates, of what they have proposed, they are excited about this young team, about the opportunities we(Jazz) have picks, with assets we have financially....the ability we have to add veteran players, we have an exciting future ahead of us. (Abt 11:58)

If anyone was really bored he/she could count the number of times Randy said excited, exciting, or excidedness in the 22 minutes he was on.

I wonder what kept JVG from the job?

The Junior Jazz commitment. He was deathly afraid of being confused for one of the attendees and the Jazz bus driving off without him. There's only so much you can do in Tabiona or Goshen City!

He's the one that's gonna murder your ace for many seasons if you don't hire him.

Still think Boylen should still be in play if Spurs win it all this year.

I think the secret fourth candidate is Van Gundy.
