  2. I think this would be a great hire. Don’t have much expectations for the rest of the season but think if any coach might have a chance to have a quick impact it’s got to be Snyder. He could really install a culture and help improve players like he has already proven. Fingers crossed all works out well.

  5. Isn’t Trae close with Donovan Mitchell? Im assuming Mitchell gave his endorsement to Trae….I hope

  8. I figured we were gonna try and hire somebody before Friday after Fields didn’t give Prunty his full endorsement at the presser yesterday. Makes sense now.

  10. Wow. I didn’t think Snyder would be interested in the job.

    He’s far and away the most successful candidate they’re going to be able to interview now or in the summer.

  14. Always liked Quin.

    The situation in Utah was weird. That team was always weird. Not many results to show for his time spent there, but statistically did well for a coach over that period of time with any franchise. I believe it was mostly his choice to resign from the Jazz, even though those mutual decisions usually give the coach the benefit of the doubt.

    He didn’t want to rebuild a shitty franchise *twice* and I respect that.
    NBA coaching experience leading back 30 years…Coach K’s assistant for like 5 seasons in the 90’s… Please offer him a nice fat contract.

  15. Fucking please. Almost feels too good to be true, but I have a ton of hope since quinn has been here before.

  16. Anyone know if Quin would take over mid season or wait until the offseason to take over?

  20. Didn’t he step down from the Jazz gig cos of the drama going on? Or was that blown out of proportion? I’m excited, just cautious at the same time. Either way – LFG

  21. LFG, y’all. I don’t know much about Snyder’s ability to manage egos, but I am confident we wouldn’t hear players talking about feeling underprepared under his leadership.

  22. Could someone give me the rundown on why everyone is over the moon about this? I don’t know much about the guy or his tenure in Utah. Is he really as much of a homerun hire as people are making him out to be?

  31. Could be like Bud to Milwaukee a few years back. Successful coach couldn’t get his team over the hump and goes to a different up and coming team and wins a chip
