Snyder to step down - Woj

Tony is expressing an opinion in this case, not fact. Eventually, perennial system issues cease to be a problem with the roster and you have to look at coaching as a cause. Snyder was constantly exposed in the playoffs and all those players we brought in to fix it kept getting DNP-CD until it's too late. Sorry, but regardless of what Tony says, Snyder owns some of issues with the team's performance.
I mean, sure, something is on Quin for losing some games here and there.

But the Jazz culture completely imploding in on itself and now our entire feed is just constant negative rumors....

That has never happened in Jazz history to this extent. IT starts at the top.
 
Hate to see him go but it was time. I really don't have much enthusiasm for Stotts, I've been clear I want Kenny Atkinson. But we will see.
The Blazers were horribly constructed and they were in the playoffs every year. This year they changed to Billups and they became one of the worst teams. He's excellent.

This HAD to happen. Even though he might be a great regular season coach, he just can't make adjustments in the post season at all. We should have won the Denver, Clippers, and mavs playoff series but they adjusted and we never did. It was frustrating to see every team run small, switch on Rudy, and get open 3 pointers all series long
 
Larsen, Jones and Checketts have all tweeted that Terry Stotts is a name to watch....it feels like he might be the front runner at this point.
Larsen and Checketts were all-in on Jim Boylen being the choice head coach last time. Fairly certain their "sources" haven't improved with the introduction of Ryan Smith. It could be Stotts based on his familiarity with the team. I'd bet on it being a Dwayne Wade pick.

Or maybe all those teams were better than us, but the adjustments Quin made got us huge leads, then our players threw them away by being mentally weak.

Like the open 3's after switches thing. You really think Quin isnt telling guys to rotate or is it more likely that our guys are just not high IQ defenders on the perimeter and always rotate slowly because they can't read the offense?
 
Quin came in as a development coach. He quickly found that we had a generational defensive center, likely HOFer based solely on his defense, which is super rare. So the team, and Quin, pivoted to all defense, and suddenly they couldn't make a basket. So then he AGAINST had to remake his entire scheme and philosophy around the young stud who can score 50 any given night, and then they put amazing shooter around him, but forgot to get anyone who could play defense.

He was basically yanked back and forth. And then he couldn't get the team to listen to him any more, and he decided he needed to take some time out.

He's a great coach, and a great basketball mind, but he had just run his course with us.
Quin was great at developing guys and getting the best out of them. He would let young guys play and they'd be coached up to his standards. Once we starting plugging holes with vets like Conley, Bogey, Clarkson and Rudy Donovan started peaking he wasn't able to mold the team anymore and his developmental capabilities became playing the same lineups, same rotations, same adjustments every single night. He became redundant.
