Guys get in here it’s happening
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.
[Quin please straighten out this team especially Trae](https://wp.usatodaysports.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/90/2014/11/x7cszqp.gif)
Trae MVP 2024 idc
Isn’t Trae close with Donovan Mitchell? Im assuming Mitchell gave his endorsement to Trae….I hope
Best hire for this job IMO.
First mover advantage 📈
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.
I will become unbearable if this goes through
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.
SEND THE FULL ARTICLE PLEASE SOMEONE
There’s mutual interest 👀
YES
IM ALMOST THERE
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.
Fucking please. Almost feels too good to be true, but I have a ton of hope since quinn has been here before.
Anyone know if Quin would take over mid season or wait until the offseason to take over?
I’ll literally be shitting, crying, and screaming if we hire Quin
They moving fast asf. I don’t remember ever seeing an outside mid-season hire
Yessss
I don’t believe in hiring coaches this quickly a la Nate McMillan
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
Mr. DeMartino please save us.
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.
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?
Woah they’re moving quickly
JUST WOKE UP HELLO
Considering how this is a completely new coach and not an assistant taking over the helm in the interim with no existing rapport with the players and zero training camp experience and Snyder’s reputation of being kind of a hard-ass… we would do well to taper our expectations this season. The odds of this team making any noise into the playoffs is very very slim. But if he can get everyone (especially Trae) to buy into his system this summer before training camp, I can see them taking a massive leap. But for now, there’s going to be growing pains and the L’s will pile up. We’re going to need to give this a lot of time.
and fck this org because if there is mutual interest they weren’t just calling him two days ago…they’ve probably had their eye on him for a while. they should’ve fired nate when we were halfway thru
LFG make him sign rn there’s no time to waste
Unrelated but we need to find a way to get Brandon Miller on this roster
