***Official new head coach search thread*** (merged)

Let's all hope that Spence Checketts is just screwing with everyone. I'd have to say he's an evil genius if true.
 
Not sure if this was already said. I didn't read every page but I would be happy with J van gundy. I wouldn't mind s van gundy either but Jeff has made it clear he wants to coach again. Not only that but he has praised Utah s system and history (with Sloan) on several occasions.
 
I think the best course of action is to take all the people whispering Boylen and realize they have no insider status whatsoever. Never believe anything they have to say about the Utah Jazz ever again. No WAY management is stupid enough to do this. No other team is going to give that guy a head coaching gig, let alone the market he already flunked out of at a lower level.
 
Jim Boylen as he next Jazz coach???? Here is what I say to that...

Regardless of the hire I'm going to come in with an open mind, but Jim Boylen is not a guy I like. That of course doesn't mean he won't be successful, but he was a very poor college coach.

Knicks is also a coveted job most would take before the Jazz.
Utah's next HC would be pretty sure he has no chance at Lakers or Knicks.
Knicks might throw outrageous contract at Billy Donovan.
One he could not refuse. He is from NY.

Steve Kerr

They should leave Donovan for Utah to go after.
I'd be happy with him.

1280 The Zone is talking about this guy:

Ettore Messina

He currently coaches CSKA Moscow

Yes, some guy they were interviewing last week (Ian Thompson?) said that Messina was his top prediction for the Jazz and no one else was even close. Don't know anything about the guy, myself.

He is the coach for Russian team cska. He was a assistant for Mike Brown when he was with the Lakers. I honestly don't know anything else about him.

If they hire him, I'm going to be pretty pleased with myself. Brought him up back in November. This is why they'd be interested. . .

Ettore Messina

Possibly the first ever European born head coach?

He worked for the Lakers for a little while, has had success at the international level and the Hawks flirted with the idea of hiring him for the head job last year. Greg Popovich thinks highly of him and expects that a team with "guts" will take a chance on an international coach. Seems like something that DL would be interested in doing. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Just about everyone suggested is a better option than Boylen. Really hate that suggestion. Hire a guy that's actually won something in his career.
 
I mean really, does it matter who the Jazz hire. 3/4 of this forums will immediately start threads demanding he be fired anyway..
