Quin Snyder is a potential successor to Pop, Marc Stein reports

[Dejounte]

I am a fan of this if it happens.

Coach Q has a great understanding of what roles mean on a team. He seems to be a mastermind with X’s and O’s as well.

Please now

The sooner the better

Not sure why he would leave Utah.

They could fire him if the Jazz go out early in the playoffs again. That's the only chance of him leaving Utah.

True though Utah seems to be fine with regular season championships in their history.

^ it’s about to be tough sledding in Utah over next few years. They don’t have a way to improve the roster really, at the same time that they’re not good enough to win it all. Mitc will want to bolt, and of course they’ll blame it all on the coach.

[BatManu20]

Believable considering his ties to the franchise. Only way he leaves Utah though is if they can him imo. And he’s a good coach who understands the game. They’re not going to be better than him, so I don’t see him getting fired despite Utah’s inevitable upcoming playoff failures.

[Mr. Body]

Why leave Utah? Mark Stein's reporting has been rubbish all year.

[timtonymanu]

Jazz have a window only up until Mitc decides to leave, which is highly likely given this current NBA. And I don't see that team as constructed winning a championship. Snyder coming here is believable to me.

IMO, window has never been open with Mitc and/or Gobert. Neither are enough to get far into the playoffs.

I think the Jazz are at a point where they have to try something new.

It doesn’t help that the rumors persist of Mitc not getting along with Gobert.

I'd be a fan of that as well...

Hoping we get Rivers after he is bounced in the first round

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

CIA Quin threw the game to ensure Pops got the record so he leaves SA job open for him this offseason?

Yeah and as much or more than any other Spurs disciple, Snyder comes off as a micromanager with the same narrow minded preference for players (he's a double whammy considering his Duke ties).

He's probably the lone in demand coach I could actually see preferring this job to more of a win now one, where the in bent superstar(s)/star(s) run the show.

They're definitely good enough to get far (with more two-way talent surrounding them), but they're not good enough to win it.

A small market team can't afford to trade a legit star just because they're stuck and for obvious reasons, Gobert would be a difficult one to get commensurate value for.

Not when he was calling multiple fouls to send our guys to the line the last few seconds of the game

I seriously doubt they’d fire him at Utah. The corpse of Coach Sloan finally resigned after 23 years

Danny Ainge is now an executive with the Jazz and he probably wants to put his stamp on the team, so I could see him wanting a coach of his choosing if Utah loses early..

[Uriel]

I would definitely take him. Snyder or Bud would be ideal for me.

[objective]

Not just Lindsay who hired him being fired, but also completely different ownership.

Snyder probably doesn't have any friends in the organization left

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

nah nah nah I googled it. Quin appears to a thoughtless kneejerk american 'conservative'.

NOPE. NOPE.

NOT MY HEAD COACH.

I want a coach with thoughtful and cogent political opinions, be they left, right or other.

[The Truth #6]

I could see Lloyd Pierce being the guy, also. Was on the Olympic staff with Pop. Snyder is good but also comes across as a coke head, all bug eyed and sniffling constantly.

[spurs1990]

If the next coach has popvich ties this will be a really cushy job. Could be 10 years job security minimum for Synder, Bud, or Udoka. I don’t see the Spurs reverting to the post Brown days of Tark, Lucas, and Bobby H. A random collection of it guys.

Lol John Lucas wasn’t an “it” guy ��

[Fireball]

He would be great but the Jazz have shown they do not get rid of their coaches too frequently ... they look for stability and its no wonder both Spurs and Jazz are the most successful small market teams over the last 20+ years

[jjspur]

I'd be OK with Snyder. If the current spurs can put up with Pop they can surely put up with Snyder. Kenny Atkinson or Will Hardy would also get my vote. We could use some new younger experienced blood in the coaching area.

[BatManu20]

One more year.
