I listened to Tony Jones on Checketts show...he said he's spoken to many people in the organization and they're very happy with Quin, they want him back next season and are definitely not firing him. He said that if Quin leaves then it's because he wants to leave and he asks out of his contract. He also said he thinks Quin will give Rudy Gay minutes in the playoffs, and that the Royce/House situation will be fascinating to watch because House has been so good and if the Jazz get Dallas in the 1st round, they're probably going to want to have House on Luka as much as possible.
I agree with this. The Jazz are loyal, maybe to a fault, and I don't see them firing Quin, even if they're swept in the first round. I said after last year's debacle of a playoff that Quin is fortunate coaching in Utah because it'll take A LOT for the organization to move on from him. However, in most other markets, he'd be out with the playoff flame-outs we've seen the last two seasons (and might see this season).
That's one thing that Quin has to question: is it worth it going to the Lakers, who might blow things up in a year when he has the stability of a Jazz job regardless how things go this year?
