They can't even fire a coach right. Unbelievable.
Facts
A microcosm of a mismanaged, horribly run organization that has missed the playoffs in 7 of the last 9 years sprinkled in one somewhat tainted NBA title. It's hard to imagine, but the lowly Lakers sank to an all-time low in class and respect here.
Jeanie Buss is a failure!
The Lakers should be FINED and penalized for this big time! Lost of draft picks, money, or whatever it takes for them to truly FEEL this! NBA must step up here!!!
Every coach should make them pay 50 million up front
Frank Vogel gotta feel relieved that the Lakers finally let him go.
I imagine he'll be joining a text chain with all of Lebron's other former coaches, which is like a PTSD support group for victims of passive-aggressive superstars who thinks himself head coach and GM...and every failure is somebody else's fault..
He a championship coach he will get another job.
Seeing how they did Frank, if I was him I'm getting wasted in celebration for being able to get out of this. They did him dirty.
Bro needs to go rent a beach house in Bali for a year. He lost about 5 years off his life coaching that team
He’s the ONLY reason the lakers won it all in 2020. My lakers are going back into the depths of hell like we were after Kobe.
Lakers slowly turning into the West Coast version of the Knicks.
Nothing slow about it.
They won a chip less then 2 years ago.. when’s the last time the Knicks won
Slowly??
@@johnnycoop8694 more like the NBA gave them a championship
@@ScoobyDoobieDoo555 more like you can’t come up with a better rebuttal than something a 12 year old Twitter troll would say
Frank Vogel is the luckiest man in the NBA to be gone from that dumpster-fire that is the LA Lakers! Good luck to the next coach trying to coach all those Egos!!!
Anyone who is defending the players obviously tune into ESPN. Absolute fuckery this front office is delivering. I’d be surprised if any coach wants to sign after that mess.
The Lakers have absolutely ZERO class. Vogel is a good coach and a good man and the city of Los Angeles should feel embarrassed by the way the Lakers' mismanaged this season. The roster was terrible, the Wes signing was a disaster from the start.
Plus he still getting pay for next season 😅
I wish he would go back to my Magic. Very disappointed that they couldn't see what they had.
The owners will have to get LeBum’s approval…
look up the word scapegoat you'll find a picture of Frank Vogel
Frank Vogel is now known as the happiest man in the NBA.
Seeing the Lakers fall apart is a beautiful thing
I'm sure your team has more titles....oh wait....NO nba team has more....here's a nice cold glass of STFU
That hurts, but the truth speaks volumes.
They fire him basically implying that the Westbrook trade was a good trade and it’s Vogels fault that Westbrook couldn’t play at his “potential” and fit with the way the team wants to play, whilst at the same time trying to trade Westbrook admitting it was a bad trade and he never would fit regardless of who coaches the team 😂😂😂
Well done lakers 👏👏👏👏🤦🏼♂️
Vogel knew he was gonna be fired a long time ago..
Frank knew that he was going to scapegoated. It happens all the time In sports and non sports. When things are not going good,the coach is going to pay.
Coach usually the first, the others follow
Tru, but the way they handled that was very unprofessional and shysty
I’m not surprised, it’s the same organization that voided Jerry West’s “lifetime season tickets” by text to his wife
I didn't see Frank miss any wide open lay ups. The Lakers will continue to stink if they believe it's the coaches fault. An incredibly expensive elderly team that will be even older next year. Bench full of coach killer ego's. That job is coaching suicide.
Or airball wide open shots, or stand there & watch the other team take wide open shots when they were only 4 feet away.
How can they fire Vogel? It sure wasn’t his fault. It was injury and assembling former stars that are past their respective primes… it’s time for Morant, Jokic, Doncic, Embiid, Tatum, Giannis to start their runs.
Vogel is literally the only part of the Lakers that ISN'T the problem.
Debatable. He didn’t play those younger players in the rotation
Classless move by the Lakers
To be expected 🤷🏻♂️
Again.
And Woj. He is a snake
I mean, yeah. That's what they are.
i guess it was Vogel’s fault that Westbrook threw bricks and made turnovers left and right.
🤣😅😂
And that AD got injured, again. Or that Carmelo didn't play defense, or that LeBron seemed more interested in scoring than winning games.
As a Pacers fan, I’m glad that Vogel got a ring but it’s a shame he gets the blame for front office issues. The Lakers have to change. You don’t fire a guy who got you a ring two seasons ago.
The problem is that guy also failed to make adjustments this entire season and not only this season but his lineups have BEEN an issue as fast back as the bubble… don’t get me if I had to list the lakers problems in order vogel wouldn’t be first however he IS AN ISSUE none the less
Need to fire GM player lebron james.
@@MrCchh7 we had a shitty team, what freaking line up would’ve worked?
@@mitchy3438 I mean I disagree abou Lebron being the “Gm” there is no proof to that however he like every other superstar has input and yes his input is listened to and considered more than others due to him being greater than others lol but sure fire him as Gm he did a bad job this yr but let’s also remember if your saying he is the Gm he also won multiple chips as Gm (unless your one of the people that only give credit for the bad yrs he has had as “Gm”)🤣
You can't coach the team who has decided to tune you out! these old veteran players did not have no respect for Frank Vogel !he was set up from the beginning of the season to fail when they got rid of their younger roster and got these old geezers, senior citizen has been Superstars !he was doomed from the door! Westbrook was a big mistake that they should not have gotten !they traded too much for this roster and now they have almost nothing to rebuild with! They are stuck with aging Superstar LeBron and street clothes Anthony Davis who cannot stay healthy and Westbrook's 47 million contract which is going to be very hard for them to move! Nobody is going to give them what they want for that contract! 😱😤
America’s coach. Love me some Frank Vogel.
As usual, a head coach getting the boot for the failure of the team. He should have another HC gig in no time.
Lakers dug themselves into a huge hole with the Lebron/AD/Russ signings. Traded away their young talent to 'win now' and they can't even win now. The only way they could possibly salvage any of this is to enter full rebuild mode, because their contracts are eating up a large chunk of payroll.
Facts!
But they literally did win now with the Ad trade tho?? Yes the Russ thing is sad but they did win now and any franchise is history would trade assets for a chip this season just didn’t work out
And yes vogel had his issues too he isn’t the main problem but he is a problem and his lineups have been bad since the bubble
@@MrCchh7 dude no one cares about the LeBubble Ring… fair or unfairly no one cares about that….
The team didn't "inform" Woj. He got the info from "ESPN Sources". Big difference. Shows how bad the Lakers are run for this to leak so soon.
I was incredibly impressed with how they referenced up-to-date plot details from the Winning Time tv show 🤣
Same thing happened to Doug Peterson.
Pederson not Peterson.
Lakers' front office has always been a mess. Does anyone remember them letting go most of their staff including scouts that have been with the team for forever duing the NBA lockout in 2011? That's how loyal that front office is. It's a poorly run franchise that has benefitted from being in the best market in the NBA
Lol so how bad is clippers management.
I think your confusing being nice w being competent.
@@bryansmith1691 The Clippers are better run than the Lakers. Let's be real. The Lakers 2020 title was very lucky. Old man Lebron and brittle AD got four months of rest. Without that, they wouldn't have won the title. The Lakers have been terribly run since Jerry Buss died.
@@lightninlarry8936 lmao if anything it would have been easier to win they would have had homecourt the whole playoffs
@@MichaelJordanBelfort the 4-month break allowed AD to rest and get healthy. If covid never happened, he would have broken something by the time the playoffs started.
@@bryansmith1691 Do you realize the Clippers have a 28-6 record over the Lakers since Sterling sold the team? Under Sterling the Clippers were a joke but that was 8 years ago. If the Lakers were in any other market, no high level free agent would ever look at them. The bubble championship has a big asterisk next to it
Scandalous move by Woj and whoever leaked it out , Frank didn't deserve the way he found out
woj scoops for news and the earliest he can get the thing out there the better for his career. tell any confidential info to any reporters , it will be out in no time. so that's Woj's M.O.... i dont like why woj is so priviledged to get these kinds of info but it's his job to let the news get out. the ones who's at fault here is the stupid lakers insider who leaked it out to woj.
@@drewainge1059 ya get its his job just wrong to tell the world before he even knew you know he could of called him and said hey ima release this info just giving you a heads up thats all I mean by woj
Blame the person who leaked it to Woj.
LeBron assembles the team...team blows...fire the coach...
You don’t expect LaBron to fire himself do ya.
Lebron has gotten at least 3-4 coaches fired that I can think of starting with Mike Brown back in the Cleveland days!
Vogel handled this extremely well. 👏 I'm not sure most people would have in that situation.
Great video
Thanks Rich!! Great perspective
Lebron owes him an apology.
Lebron will NEVER be accountable for his failures. Never.
Dude a coach killer
Good luck Coach Frankie V. We appreciate your professionalism. May your tribe increase.
Bring back Jerry West as Personnel Director or GM to fix this mess!!!
Jerry is working for the Clippers right now. Lakers won't pay him the $ he wants, and Jerry will want part of ownership as well. Jeannie Buss already said she's not giving up any part ownership of the Lakers.
They took his season tickets away from him lol
@@johnbarnett8221 silly to do that to a Laker Legend huh?
Jerry west has publicly stated that the relationship with the lakers is beyond repair
@@herbal776 things can change over time....
As a Lakers fan since 1969. This is embarrassing. Getting Westbrick weather you like him or not was a huge mistake. Trade Legone, Westbrick and Street Clothes. Keep a few of the young guys who played hard and rebuild with picks. Good luck Frank
@LeBum he's definitely a casual. Way too cogent a point to come from a true Lakers fan. If he had thrown in something arrogant and comically delusional, I might have bought it!
@@thelastmanonearth2631 lol, i actually agree with him, i think he's legit
What sane coach would come to a team where he doesn’t have the authority to bench his players?
Never seen anything like this, over, and over.
"I've never seen anything like this " is basically Rich Eisen's catch phrase now. Everything he ever sees is something completely new to Rich.
sam mitchell raptors coach got fired one year after winning coach of the year award i think
With movement and player power, team legacy doesn't mean anything anymore. How many players and coaches are going to Boston because of their championships? How many players and coaches want to work for the Knicks because it's New York City? What about the Lakers as they are formed and operate today would make anyone want to go work for them?
The team owners need to get more lockstep then don’t they and turn the screw so they’re back running the asylum not the lunatics
Wonder if his source knew he would tweet that
If I were the young team, I would protest his firing!
If they follow last year's offseason blueprint they might be bringing Juwan Howard in to play power foward 😆
Or bring back Kwame brown
@@thomasabraham3107 Kwame don’t wanna play with all that garbage… 😂
Now that's funny
Where is Eisen talking about Shefter???
Magic quit when they signed The Queen. He already knew.
If I were Frank Vogel I would be happier than hell to be out of that situation. I am sure he will get another coaching job somewhere. Probably as an assistant and then maybe someday down the road he will get another chance to be a head coach.
Important thing to remember is that as long as LeBron James is associated with the team he is head coach and general manager. He I wish he would stick to playing the game which he is still very good at.
Rich pulling a Skip Bayless... "I've never seen anything like it!!"
You know it, and I know it!
But you know he means it 😂😂😂😂
@@GameTime-yj6qv Do I?.. I was there!!
Rumor has it that Vogel was the first person to 'LIKE' the tweet from Woj ... LOL
I disagree that this is a first time occurrence. This happens all the time.
Like in the NFL season we always hear rumors according to insiders that the team is planning to fire a coach and just hasn't made it official or officially told the coach.
So this really isn't a new thing.
I mean people talk about the bears being settled that Nagy was done like weeks before
That's insane.
It just tells you why you shouldn't talk to anybody in the press prior to an official release.
So going to put this out there, if Seattle gets a team, I want Frank Vogel as a coach. He got a raw deal, and has had success at every stop.
Yes please 💚💛
Plenty of coaches signing up for that position.
Lakers need someone to blame for losing, instead of blaming their current GM and coach lebum for wanting to build the roster he wanted instead of getting a real coach and real roll players.
I have been a Lakers fan my whole life and i do not understand this. This organization seems to be fumbling and falling and falling more and more under scrutiny with the decision’s the front office has made
Apparently there will never be enough examples to help society realize that women just flat-out aren't good decision-makers. 🤷♂️
People are surprised? Look how they threat Jerry West
I could have told Frank Vogel that he was done at the end of the season 2 months ago.
Vogel should have resigned at halftime
Exactly. Tbh, a lot of Lakers fans were expecting Vogel to be gone during the All-Star break. So idk why people thought Woj dropping this news was shocking. Hell, even Vogel knew he was done.
It's crazy how these ridiculously valuable franchises are run like a joke. Who is scrambling to call Woj to let them know they're firing the coach in 12 hours? I imagine it was one of the Rambises (Rambi?).
You’ve never seen a coach get fired? Wow
Don't be surprised... this happens all the time
It COULDN’T of been Lebron’s fault, who ‘hand-picked’ this 2021-22 team, that was TOO SLOW to play defense !! Or, A.D’s fault who only played 40 games, this regular season !!
I know who’s fault it was…It was Russell Westbrook’s, & Head Coach Frank Vogel’s fault. 🤣
No, it was the front office who ended up doing terrible recruitment the last 2 seasons. Vogel never stood a chance.
@Senna_Grillo 12 Don't worry, your mom will be there soon to pick you up.
🤣😂✌🏼
@@adriaanjacobs5073 legm is to blame
rapsheet said a few days ago that he gets told things like that before the actual person is more often than you think. if you want a good relationship going forward maybe a good idea to give the guy getting fired a heads up before tweeting
That interview was exactly what I thought about. Not a surprise though after listening to some of Woj's former colleagues talk about him though.
No surprise looking at sports media today.
Classless.
Leaving out the gambling angle and applying it to humans, the old saying, "there's a pair to draw to" can to changed to "there's a trio to draw to." Jeanie, Linda and Kurt.
Yes
The NBA has increasingly become a Diva league...
What a classy organization…
Lakers winning the 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 NBA Finals brought me here. Holy Jeannie Bust.
I'm 51 and I do not understanding how anybody in my age range doesn't remember the Lakers winning the championship and then Magic firing Paul Westhead.
I remember and I'm 43
And Magic got booed, I wasn't even born.
Rob Pelinka must be culpable for doing Vogel so dirty. I mean he won a championship with the Lakers, treat him with more respect.. it’s the least they could’ve done.
Absolutely. It’s a horrible look. Championship or not, there’s a lack of respect there to have him ambushed with that in a press conference.
How can you respect anyone if you dont respect t yourself
It isn’t funny but funny.
“Hey, did you hear you’re getting fired? Well they are going to let you know tomorrow.”
What's up, Richard?
It's because that's who the Lakers care about. The media is more important to them than their non-superstar personnel. There's only a handful of teams (the Knicks, the Kings, maybe Charlotte) ran worse.
Isn't it funny no one is even mentioning a certain ex Laker who seems to always be in the middle of controversy as the leaker.
It appears that the Lakers are taking management advice from the Cleveland Browns organization.😎
I bet I can make a prediction about the next head coach.
I feel really bad for Joe from Impractical Jokers.
dude how happy is he to get off this sinking ship
Hello!! It's all LeBron James fault!!!
He gets coaches fired all the time, he makes the calls!!
Woj can't keep his mouth shut.
Yeah, he has no respect or decency.
Lakers cancelled their subscription to Showtime a long time ago.
Ms Buss needs people around her to tell her what she needs to hear. Starts at the top.
Every coach that the Lakers attempt to hire should demand $60 mil guaranteed and a six year contract. The coaches and NBA community needs to stick to the Lakers and show them that actions have consequences.
Coach K has apparently shown interest.
So after coaching them to a championship just 18 months ago, suddenly he can't coach? The GM needs to look in the mirror, because this was a terrible roster.
Jeannie told Linda, she told Kurt and he leaked to Woj.
You're not even going to tell your championship winning coach he's fired... what an organization
When you fire someone like this what coach do you think you can get.
Frankly that’s messed up
John Calipari sounds like a good fit. Please take him Lakers!
Austin balled out last night. He should start next year
Why did they hire this guy in the first place?!
People will take the job because it is an infinite pay increase over being an assistant coach. Theres only 30 of these jobs that pays millions and changes their life. A newcomer coach gets 4-5 year 20-25 million, an experienced coach gets 40-50 million. So yea.. they dont care if they get fired via Woj.
With that said its a terrible job.. you have no pieces to build with
So sad. Why is it Frank Vogel's fault.
I just watched a morning shoot around with Riley and Winters running the show. Times have definetly changed. I guess I'm a dinosaur.
Lebron has gotten more coaches fired over his career than he's won championships.
What good does sending that information do for WOJ? Lakers are to I right now I know but just professionally why is it good that THIS is the news he (or any journalist) is sending before the subject is informed
"expansive"?? Try more like expensive
they'll bring in doc rivers😮
Why didn't Ty Lue get this same treatment when he was fired after leading his team to the Finals previous year?
Frank showed class, but he's not surprised. Many say LAL front office is a mess. Won't be hard to get coach or players. Vogel in 2020 had Kidd, great Vets to win
Classless move by the Lakers and Woj….
Woj has never had any class. Just listen to former colleagues
Lol this firing seems like how an agent would fore someone
