Gregg Popovich made history on Friday after becoming the winningest coach in NBA history with no less than 1,336 career victories. The San Antonio Spurs icon just surpassed Don Nelson for the most wins by any coach in league history, and coach Pop is now going to be adding to his lead up until he calls it a career.

Speaking of which, Gregg Popovich's tenure in the NBA has become one of the most talked-about issues surrounding the 73-year-old. A lot of folks out there believe that coach Pop is now in the final season of what has been an illustrious career and that he will be retiring at the end of this current campaign.

While there has been no confirmation of this rumor, it's only logical that we're all already thinking about his replacement for the Spurs. According to NBA insider Marc Stein (paywalled), the Spurs have actually set their sights on Utah Jazz shot-caller Quin Snyder:

If you pressed me, I would (cautiously) stick with the idea that Popovich, who turned 73 in January, coaches the Spurs for at least one more season, knowing how much he still loves (and needs) to be in the gym. Yet I reserve the right to change that answer if Utah's Quin Snyder becomes unexpectedly available. More and more, I hear Snyder's name as a potential Pop successor that the Spurs would naturally relish. Snyder, of course, established himself in the NBA after his college years by coaching the Spurs' G League team in Austin and is in Year 8 with a Jazz team trying to find a measure of playoff success befitting its consistently outstanding regular-season play under Snyder.

As indicated in Stein's report, he believes that coach Pop will stay on with San Antonio for at least another season. However, this is anything but guaranteed. After all, the five-time NBA champion coach has pretty much done it all in his career already.

If Popovich decides to walk away from the game, however, there's no denying that Snyder would be a formidable replacement. Filling the void coach Pop will leave for the Spurs is virtually impossible, but Snyder is one of a handful of coaches from around the league that actually fits the bill.

Quin Snyder, 55, is currently on his eighth year as the Jazz head coach. He has taken this team to new heights in recent years, which includes a first-place finish last regular season with 52 wins for Utah. He's no coach Pop, but he does feel like a good fit for the job.
