According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Jazz ownership and management spent several weeks trying to convince Snyder to return as coach — even offering a contract extension — but he simply decided that his time had come to step away from the job.
Snyder resigned despite having two years left on his contract, including his own option on the final year.
In a statement, Snyder said he was “grateful” for his time with the Jazz but that his decision came down to what was best for the team’s players.
Snyder’s statement reads;

“At the core, and what drives me every day is our players and their passion for the game, their desire to constantly work to improve and their dedication to the team and the Jazz.
“I strongly feel they need a new voice to continue to evolve. That’s it. No philosophical differences, no other reason. After eight years, I just feel it is time to move onward,” Snyder said in a statement.
“I needed to take time to detach after the season and make sure this was the right decision.”
Where is Quin Snyder coaching next?
Snyder underwent hip surgery after the season and has been recuperating back to full health.
According to ESPN, Snyder’s future/ next team as of now, is unclear.
However, if Snyder decides to make himself a candidate for other coaching jobs in the future, it is expected that given his track record, he would be a high priority signing for almost any team with an opening.
