After parting ways with coach Nate McMillan last week, the Hawks moved swiftly in their coaching search and now plan to hire former Jazz coach Quin Snyder to replace him, according to a report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Snyder will sign a five-year contract and is expected to be on the sidelines as soon as Tuesday when the Hawks take on the Wizards.
Just after the Hawks let McMillan go, Snyder emerged as the leading candidate for the job, Wojnarowski previously reported. Hawks general manager Landry Fields confirmed at the time that Snyder was a candidate that the franchise was considering, but that there were others in the mix as well.
