Quin Snyder Odds at 2-1 as Hawks Deal Could be Reached in Days

The Atlanta Hawks and Quin Snyder are progressing in talks on a deal to make him the franchise's next coach.  ESPN is reporting that a resolution could be reached within days.

Snyder's odds were coming in at 2-1 this week at BetOnline.

Reports suggest that the Hawks are prepared to make a significant contractual commitment to Snyder.

The Hawks promoted assistant Joe Prunty to interim coach following the firing of Nate McMillan.  Atlanta was sitting with a 29-30 record,  good enough for eighth place in the Eastern Conference and the team will very much be in the playoffs hunt the second half of this season.

The Hawks and Snyder had a virtual meeting Wednesday, sources said.

Later that day Hawks general manager Landry Fields confirmed he was under serious consideration.

He 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."

Snyder was once a Hawks assistant coach under Mike Budenholzer and went on to lead the Jazz to six consecutive trips to the Western Conference playoffs, including three berths in the semifinals.

Snyder, 56, resigned after the 2021-22 season.
