Are they trying to make it up for not retiring his jersey for so long?

Why the negativity? What don't you like about him as a coach?

No negativity. It's just that there was a lot of fighting in him getting recognition in Salt Lake. Apparently, there was a conflict between him and Larry Miller. And that was twisted to discuss race relations in Utah. I do not know enough about him, but I hope that he is not getting a second interview to make up for it. Larry Miller before he passed away made up with him and retired his number.
In all honesty, I am against all coaching candidates except for John Stockton. If and when they pick someone else, I will have a period of time trying to figure out what I think about them. I really, really believe in him and I feel that this is an opportunity that will never come again. We will be stuck with another coach and PR will prevent us from moving on.
Do I think he would be better if he had been an assistant coach before? Yes, no doubt. However, I do not think that we can just wait for him to have that experience. I do not think it would be fair to have him as an assistant under the newly hired coach here. Either the new coach would work out and we just wasted his time (or he leaves to be a head coach after getting experience here) or the new coach has pressure to coach differently because he has a legend behind him . And I don't think he would go anywhere else to assist, only HC, if ever.
If Stockton is not coach here I want to get a "no" answer from the horse's mouth before they sign anyone, even Jerry freakin' Sloan. I do not want us to hurry up and find somebody and get no news on Stockton's thoughts. It bugs tge hell out of me that we pulled the trigger on Corbin in his extension a year too early and missed out on Hornacek. I hope thst was not an attempt to say we aren't racist or afraid to fire because of it. Not alleging anything, just saying I hope it wasn't that.
Nuraman, capture this post. You will likely never find me posting something this "passionate" unless Alex Smith wins a SB. We need to hire Stockton or fail trying. I don't think we do get him, though.
The Utah Jazz are no longer considering Jim Boylen for their head coaching job, according to sources.
Boylen was previously viewed as a top candidate and is friends with Dennis Lindsey.
Quin Snyder, Alvin Gentry, Adrian Griffin and a mystery candidate remain the leading candidates for the Jazz, who have kept the fourth coach tight-lipped.
