Quin Snyder has resigned as head coach of the Utah Jazz after eight years. The former Austin Spurs skipper was reportedly offered an extension by Utah’s front office, which desperately wanted him to stay, but he decided to sever ties with the franchise in which he won 372 games.
With Gregg Popovich’s future as an NBA coach still up in the air, any viable name with a link to the franchise will immediately be pointed at as a potential successor, but in Snyder’s case, there might be more than just a tenuous past connection to the Spurs fueling speculation.
