The Los Angeles Lakers sacked coach Vogel immediately after the season. While Vogel shouldn't be primarily responsible for the loss this season, the Lakers hierarchy clearly needs to find a scapegoat. In the three years of the Lakers, Vogel led the team to a championship and created many achievements with a neat lineup. But when the squad was not in order, Vogel did not show enough ability to adjust, which is also where he was most criticized. After Vogel was sacked, the Lakers were slow to identify a new manager, which also made their lineup restructuring work stagnant. The first round of the playoffs is nearing the end of a sentence, no matter how the Lakers want to spend this summer, as soon as possible to determine the new manager should be the first step they do.
According to previous media reports, most of the Lakers' managers are famous coaches who have worked in the Lakers. Including D'Antoni, Schneider, Dem and others, there are also famous coaches like 76ers coach Rivers. After Vogel's brief success, the Lakers stopped thinking about hiring less experienced young managers and instead considered coaches like D'Antoni, Schneider and Rivers. Previously, there was even news that the Lakers hoped that the famous coach Phil Jackson, who was over eighty years old, would return to the team. Although Jackson denied the news shortly thereafter, the direction of the Lakers' coaching was obvious. Earlier today, well-known basketball journalist Shams exposed the latest movement of the Lakers' coach. According to the reporter's report, Jazz coach Schneider, who has just been eliminated, has become a popular candidate for the lakers' new manager. It is reported that the Lakers' interest in Schneider is "very serious".
Although Schneider has previously denied rumors of being the lakers' new coach, things seem to have changed a bit since the Jazz were out. The duo of Jazz Gobert and Mitchell seems to have come to an end, and with both of them still on top-salary contracts for several years, it will be difficult for the Jazz to hit higher positions in the short term. In the case of the unstable situation of the team, Schneider' interest in staying in the team gradually decreased when the contract expired. Schneider had expressed his desire to coach James to the media, and given James' age, the opportunity seemed to have turned into his last chance.
Born in 1966, Schneider has been in the Jazz coaching position for nearly nine seasons. Prior to becoming Jazz coach, Schneider held assistant coaching positions on several teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers. During his tenure as jazz coach, Schneider was not only the commander of the team on the court, but also enjoyed a great say in the team's lineup building. Some media believe that if Schneider becomes the manager of the Lakers, then he will enjoy the rights far beyond Vogel, including the Lakers' lineup construction will consult his opinion. The Los Angeles Lakers value not only Schneider's strong ability to lead the team, but also his tough personality. In this star-studded team, a strong coach may be able to bring about some change. Fans and friends think Schneider can become the leader who led the Lakers to success? Welcome to discuss exchanges in the comments!
