Is Frank Vogel a good fit as Head Coach for the Lakers?

[@xordus]

someone was 'STUNNED' by something. someone was 'SHOCKED' that this happened. someone is TERRIBLE at making video titles....

[@kinggreenishmambanegra6041]

This was the right decision, Monty was a better choice in my opinion but Vogel is better than baldy lue.

[@Antonio25668]

not sure.

[@TheGbelcher]

Nolay Austin 🤣 Who would take him? Knicks wouldn’t even take him at this point.

[@TheGbelcher]

Vogel is being set up for failure. Kidd is the insurance policy against the inevitable. Just hire Kidd now. We all know what’s coming next.

I think we underrate how good Jenna is as a moderator. She is funny, never interrupts, and everything she says is good

[@papalannister6730]

Not like that idiot, Molly

[@kaizenkonversations8337]

She actually used to be horrible but she tried hard to not be so she’s better now. But some of her jokes like the one 3 seconds into this video are just horrible and CC and Nick stare at eachother annoyed of her all the time still. Plus her laugh is just awful and she’s so clueless about a lot of sport history of the past.

[@jimboo3669]

She's really really good she's one of my favorite her and the woman off of Undisputed. That Molly girl trying to get her own show and I understand but sometimes she f**** off the debates sometimes Max or Stephen will have something good to say but she will cut them off and they will forget all about it but you're right 100% And I like your post

Frank Vogel is one of the top five coaches in the West he been to the playoffs more than all of those candidates except Ty Lue he have lots of success we need to give him a chance

[@donsullivan7736]

Vogel's been to more playoff, twice as many.

[@j-0831]

Antoni..... Nuff said.. lol

[@spencerallbritton9459]

Vogel is not a bad coach by any means although I would have preferred Mark Jackson. But no matter who the coach was going to be, they still need one more star player and maybe one or two role players along with playing much better defense.

[@thepersianlion]

When did lue become pop?

[@scottzola4]

According to Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe, Tyronn Lue is a Hall of Fame coach. Combine Popovich with Phil Jackson and you get Tyronn Lue. 😕

[@shermagustave837]

I love Chris B. Always tries to set the record straight

[@WEAVERBRAND91]

Lakers are gonna be around .500 at the All-Star break and people gonna call for Frank Vogel to get fired.

[@Alex4rmThe714]

They were almost .500 with everyone injured tho foh

[@dvdly]

What does 20-14 have to do with its being combined with their record after he returned? Your point about what happened after Lonzo's injury supports what Brandon was saying more than discounts it.

[@dphillips825]

This aged well...

[@karihotakainen5210]

Nick can't pull that suit off

[@brownsvillesown348]

LeBron James is “going to give frank vogel a chance” A player is gonna give the coach a chance 😂😂😂

[@mrmvp2323]

I wouldve chosen mark Jackson but frank is a good coach. I always thought he got a bad shake in Indiana. People think the players get the coaches fire but it's rarely theyre fault. The owners and GMs get a pass but the decision is ultimately up to them but let's be real, the haters aren't trying to hear the truth

[@jayfetzer8]

LeBron should star and produce in a movie about the hot dumpster fire that is the Lakers. LeBron - himself Jeanie Buss - Katherine Heigl Rob Pelinka - Rob Lowe Frank Vogel - Rob Corddy Jason Kidd - Bill Burr

[@neugey]

It fits. Hey I'll gradly watch Katherine Heigl.

[@xpkevinxd]

By this time next year I expect the media to be changing their tune. #LakerNation

[@sajmirlatifi2309]

You were right, W

[@DeFyPhYsiiCs]

Gonna take a wild guess here... he'll maybe get to about half of the season if he's lucky, and then J Kidd takes over... "Wild guess" huh lol

[@samlewis3662]

bro?

[@shaunmc013]

I think Nick doesn't understand that it was Kurt Rambis who set this whole thing up.

[@Josh-go5lu]

That's a good point about MDA. Vogel isn't automatically a terrible un-hirable coach just because things didn't go well in Orlando. Vogel has earned a chance

[@dizd4181]

Lakers front office are genius! Went from having no coach, to getting 2 coaches in 1 day!

[@user-ix6ki1ng7j]

Lebron's totally hands off but the media repeatedly says the new Coach has to have Bron's respect. Where does the media get that information 🤔 Chris Carter made arguments against Vogel. You can use those same arguments against Kidd and Lue? What are their offensive systems? Lue won the 1st Championship for Cleveland and was fired 🤔. Milwaukee got better AFTER Kidd left. They are going to spend the next three weeks doing Mock Drafts....just for the Lakers tho 😂😂

[@cullenshanrock4139]

I'm receiving word that, yes, LeBron has been "kept abreast" of the developments

[@marquisfelder3170]

broussard you gonna put some respect on Danny Granger Name

[@leetraviusmckay2919]

He's a great defensive coach for LeBron

[@jermaineyoung3193]

For the whole team.

[@jleww8959]

@@jermaineyoung3193 💯💯

[@omieg89]

doesn't matter how great of a defensive coach he is. If Lebron is going to give lackluster effort on rotations and closeouts, it will be difficult to be a great defensive team. I'm not sure Lebron has the legs anymore for 82 games on the defensive end. Especially when he still wants his 27-7-7 stat line.

[@heathbaker1138]

Kawhi and KD are not going to join Lebron. Both are players who bested him in the Finals. Both are top five in the league. I am not joining the best player when I am chasing him or surpassing him. Kyrie wants to run the show in his own team. Olay is staying put. His options are going to be maybe Jimmy Butler or Kemba Walker. I do not see any tom twenty five player joining him.

[@dkMansell96]

So much jealousy and hatred in these comments. LeBron has himself gotten one coach fired in his whole career. David Blatt. And he was so poor he never got another NBA job even as an assistant. LeCoachKiller doesn’t exist.

[@mrmvp2323]

Facts but these haters arent trying to hear tha truth

[@dkMansell96]

Cowboy fan The fact that you call him LeFraud shows your blind hatred. Sure he didn’t necessarily like Spoelstra when he first got there, but they obviously worked it out and got 2 rings. And how can you possibly say that LeBron sabotaged Walton?? He averaged his normal career numbers in every stat but free throws and helped the team to the 4 seed in the west before the injury bug bit the entirety of the team. Without LeBron the team would have won about 28-30 games and Luke would have been gone either way. Get over your jealous rage and look at the facts. Media members like Skip Bayless, Stephen Smith, and Max Kellerman have skewed the general public’s view of LeBron all to enhance the legacies of players like Jordan. If you can’t see that then nothing will change your mind. LeFraud? Really?

[@dkMansell96]

Cowboy fan It’s like I’m talking to a brick wall....that hates a basketball player enough to distort history. Nice ad hominem in the opening of your reply by the way. When you have nothing real the only course of action is to attack the opponents character. Adios friend. It seems that you will always harbor hatred for LeBron for no discernible reason. Have a good day.

[@Zackaveli]

Jason Kidd has not been a good coach in the NBA. Let just get that out there.

No Ty Lue 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👉🏾LeBron left him in Cleveland for a reason😅!!!

[@omieg89]

This might sound crazy but I think Ty Lue is the type of coach you need to coach star players. OKC should get rid of Donovan and hire Lue. He won't be afraid to tell Russ to scale back. Lue has had to coexist with MJ, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron, Kyrie, KG, Pierce, Ray Allen, Blake Griffin, and Chris Paul. He isn't intimidated by stars.

[@zeefly226]

Lebron is so excited about Frank Vogel being the new head coach of the Lakers he's already started working on getting him fired.

[@mogtrader8]

Frank Vogel is a fresh face, but why bring in Jason Kidd as an assistant when you know he's wanting to call the shots. Doesn't make sense to put in Kidd, unless he humbly wants to become the assistant, he just ain't that type. Unless the Lakers know Kidd will just come in, if Vogel turns scapegoat.

[@donsullivan7736]

Luke was very stubborn about having his guys for assistant coaches, even when front office wanted changes. Perhaps their thinking is they want to have some control on those assistants and want to make it clear from day one.

[@danhantheman]

they just mad lakers didn't hire another black system coach like ty lue

[@gripmula238]

So was Vogel 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@walterbarsamian8915]

Maybe Kurt Rambis isn't senile and knows what he is doing. He certainley knows more than Jeanie Buss does.

These guys Laker haters

[@TheGbelcher]

Ask David Blatt what happens when a qualified coach that LeBron likes is your assistant. Vogel won’t make it to All-Star break.

[@michaelplowman8674]

LeBron made the narrative of him being essentially the GM when for the 2 seasons after winning the title in Cleveland he made it clear that he wouldn't re-sign until after his friends had been taken care of with their contracts.

[@joeb5619]

No I think Lebron is just happy that part is over so he can try and recruit some one. It's hard to do that with all the dysfunction but it's even harder without a coach. Who knows he might still ask for a trade before it's done.. .

[@peterpaz4877]

The problem here is when Broussard uses phrases like, "Lebron is going to give Vogel a chance". Lebron is the help. Period. No matter how great he is, he does NOT own the team.

[@omieg89]

Yeah but trust me, a moody Lebron is a team killer. So you want to keep him happy or at least motivated because he will torpedo your season. And you might think that he will only be hurting himself by doing that but nope. He still collects his stats while losing and the media plus his fans cover up his tracks.

[@Nfnf889]

Lol Kawhi ain’t going to play with the lakers. Y’all keep dreaming. Kawhi hates the spotlight, you think he wants to go play with bron? So when they win bron gets all the praise but if they lose everyone else gets the blame. Not happening.

[@davidmuller6011]

he's great with player development (Middleton, Giannis, Brogdon) his offensive gameplan is just very primitive and his defensive schemes are a bit strange, it'll help the younger players get better hopefully, and I'm pretty sure they hired Vogel because he's a great defensive coach, before he went to Orlando and ruined his resume he was arguably one of the best coaches in the league in Indiana.
