Taylor Jenkins Meets With Bucks To Discuss Head Coaching Vacancy

Taylor Jenkins met in Memphis last week with Jon Horst, Wes Edens and Jimmy Haslam to discuss the franchise's head coaching vacancy. The two sides are expected to meet again soon to further discuss the opening. Jenkins was head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies from 2019 until he was abruptly fired near the end of the 2024-25 season. The Grizzlies qualified for the playoffs in four of Jenkins' six seasons as head coach.
Jenkins was an assistant coach for the Bucks under Mike Budenholzer during the 2018-19 season before he was hired as head coach of the Grizzlies. Jenkins is considered one of the top coaching free agents of the cycle and could wait to see what ends up happening with other potential jobs such as the Orlando Magi. Doc Rivers stepped down as head coach of the Bucks at the end of the season. The Bucks have yet to signal whether they will trade Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, or continue to pursue an extension.
