I actually don’t think so. He’s been really bad, even before AD went down
This is bullshyt. They won a ring. Call it a bubble ring if you want cool. They were pretty great last year until Lebron got hurt and AD was hurt too so they fell to the playin rankings. They were up on the Suns and who won the conference until AD got hurt. Then this off-season they could have gotten Hield, Derozan, and kept Trez yet others wanted Westbrook. Then Bron gets hurt early in the season then AD gets hurt. Granted they’ve lost a lot of games they shouldn’t. But this team can’t stay healthy and is built terribly. That’s their problem not the coach

Frank Vogel is a great defensive coach, and Lakers being horrible on defense is not his fault.

Now on the other end when it comes to rotations and the offensive side, he is as horrible as they come.:francis:

I rather they not fire him though because then Lakers might have to play with Fizdale who is x100 worse. Vogel just need a good offensive assistant coach.

Lakers should trade Bron and move on from hostage situations. This is the roster Bron demanded. It’s not good. It’s been obvious since preseason. That’s on him. Why fire a good coach because your FO let Bron get the band back together like it’s still 2012?

If the FO had a huge say so in making the Westbrook trade and signing DJ/Rondo...why is Vogel on the hot seat?.... Shouldn't Pelinka/Rambis be on the hot seat?

* Lebron missed 12 out of the first 23 games
* AD has missed 15 consecutive games
* Then covid hit the team around the same time AD got hurt...Sure, other teams have had players in/out of the lineup, but LA had a huge turnover during the offseason. So there was no continuity from last season (Gasol, Caruso, Kuzma, KCP, Harrell, Shroader....and Drummond if you want to include him)

* That's 6 rotation players and 3 starters.
* 5 of those players could play defense
* 5 were high energy players
* 4 of the 6 could get you double-digit pts

* Prior to AD going down the Lakers had won 3 consecutive and 6 of 8 gms.

IMO, LA has made Vogel's job more difficult by bringing in players who didn't fit the roster or are just washed up (Drummond, Westbrook, Jordan, Ariza, Rondo)...These aren't Vogel moves, these are Pelinka/Jeannie/Rambis/Lebron/AD moves.....What was Vogel to do last season when LA signed Drummond?... Not play him?... That would've cost him his job and he would've been used as the scapegoat.

Vogel should be the coach until the end of the season...He's earned that much by winning a championship.

Being the coach of Bron led team is one of the most thankless jobs in pro sports...he got zero credit for that chip and is taking all the heat from trying to win with this dumpster fire of a roster ...could you put money on him getting fired in the off-season? Cause that was easy money the moment they traded all their defensive role players for rockhead :mjlol:

Fire him, don't fire him...won't make a difference
Ty Lue and Spo both got credit for the rings they won and both are still head coaches to this day. Stop the cap.
