The Atlanta Hawks have identified Quin Snyder as a possible replacement for Nate McMillan as head coach; general manager Landry Fields admitted as much on Wednesday, saying: "I feel comfortable mentioning his name"
Atlanta Hawks general manager Landry Fields has revealed former Utah coach Quin Snyder is among those being considered to replace Nate McMillan.
The Hawks (29-30) fired McMillan on Tuesday and Fields stressed that Atlanta's eighth-placed standing in the Eastern Conference is not acceptable for a team that advanced to the conference finals in 2021.
Snyder, 56, was 372-264 as Utah's coach from 2014-22. He guided the Jazz to six consecutive playoff appearances before stepping down after last season.
Fields said Snyder's availability "is a factor in the sense that I feel comfortable mentioning his name, but there are other candidates I don't want to mention because they are a part of other teams".
