Alvin Gentry, Adrian Griffin and Quin Snyder have all had multiple interviews with the Jazz.
Gentry has posted a career record of 335-370 with the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns. Griffin ended his playing career with 2008 and joined the Milwaukee Bucks’ staff. He has been with the Bulls since 2010. Snyder is a former Missouri Tigers and Austin Toros (D-League) head coach.
According to Jordy Genessy of The Dessert News, the Jazz have eliminated Boylen from consideration and reports that Snyder is the front-runner with Gentry, Griffin and assistant coach Brad Jones, who replaced Jeff Hornacek as an assistant, right there.
Hearing from multiple sources that ex-University of Utah coach Jim Boylen is no longer a candidate for the Utah Jazz's head coach position.

From what I'm hearing, it sounds like Quin Snyder remains at the front of the pack for the Utah Jazz coaching position. Jazz like them all.

Once they hired a coach, they’ll turn their attention to the 2014 NBA Draft, where they hold the fifth-overall pick.
