Recently, the high-profile Los Angeles Lakers official media released an official announcement saying: "Thank you, coach. At the same time, they also posted a photo of Vogel holding a trophy after the Lakers won the championship in the 19-20 season, it is reported that the Lakers have officially parted ways with Vogel, and in the coming period, the introduction of a coach suitable for the team has become a burning need for the Lakers. This season, the Lakers under Vogel's leadership only achieved eleventh place in the West, far from their goal of championship, it is worth mentioning that in the middle of the season All-Star Weekend, the talk about Vogel's imminent graduation has been hyped.
Looking at the Overall Performance of the Lakers this season, perhaps Vogel does have some paranoia in terms of platooning. Lakers management Lambis once believed that Vogel should not choose to press Howard and Jordan Jr. on the bench at that time, should give them more opportunities to play, during that time, the relationship between Vogel and Lakers executives can be described as falling into the freezing point, resulting in the overall state of the Lakers has been very weak. For Vogel, after leaving the Lakers this time, he should be able to understand the meaning of "smart women are difficult to cook without rice".
Not long ago, the well-known NBA journalist Woj talked about Vogel's departure, and said: "The dismissal of Vogel is not a recent decision, the Lakers had a discussion about whether to part ways with him once or twice in the middle of the season, and finally they decided to let Vogel coach the season." At the same time, Woj also believes that if the former assistant coach Jason Kidd is still in the Lakers, then he will most likely replace Vogel as the new head coach of the Lakers. At present, Kidd's Lone Rangers have played a good record this season, and it turns out that his choice to leave the Lakers to become the head coach of a Western Powerhouse at that time was undoubtedly a wise choice.
According to US media reports, Raptors head coach Nas, Jazz head coach Snyder and NCAA University of Michigan coach Juwan Howard are currently very favored candidates for the Lakers management. However, given the Lakers' current predicament and the management's crisis of trust in Vogel, neither Coach Norse nor Coach Snyder seems to want to wade into this muddy water, and their willingness to take over the Lakers' coaching whip is extremely low. ZhuWan Howard was once close to the Management of the Lakers, and when Vogel interviewed the Lakers that year, Uncle Huo was one of the coaches That Pelinka was eager to bring in, but as of now, Uncle Huo did not want to leave the coaching position at the University of Michigan.
If the Lakers can't find a suitable coach in the coming months, then This season Vogel's assistant coach Fitzdale will most likely take Vogel's coaching whip and become the new head coach of the Lakers. Before Vogel was in a healthy conditioning, Fitzdale had led the team to several games, and it was difficult to win. While Fitzdale was in charge, he was even more daring than Vogel in terms of lineup attempts, pushing James directly above the center position. Therefore, putting Fitzdale in the manager's position is not a wise decision, it can only be called a "helpless move".
