The Utah Jazz have offered Quin Snyder a contract extension in the recent past and he has so far elected not to sign it, which has led to some speculation that he could become available.

"Quin Snyder is not on the hot seat," said Marc Stein on a Sunday Greenroom. "I think this needs to be clarified. As I reported recently, Quin would be a coveted candidate for both San Antonio, at whatever point Gregg Popovich decides to step down. He would certainly be a coveted candidate for the Lakers.

"I want to make sure this is clear because I don't think it has come across clearly even after I've written about this multiple times, this is not Utah dissatisfaction with Quin Snyder. How many years left on his contract is somewhat unclear. He is not a coaching free agent after this season. Whether he has one or two years left on his current deal remains a bit murky because the Jazz have never come out and publicly confirmed exactly what it is.

"Included in my recent reporting about Quin is that the Jazz have tried to extend him further. They have offered him an extension beyond the one or two years left on his current deal and based on my reporting, he has not accepted that extension yet. I don't know if he's completely ruled it out, but to this point, Utah's efforts to extend him further, the key word further, Quin has not acted upon that yet.

"I think that is what has led some of the discussion and sparked some of the hope from some of the other teams interested in him, that maybe he's the one who wants to move on after a pretty long and successful run in Utah."

Stein added that the Jazz want Snyder to extend as head coach.
