Was let go fired by the Suns. Pope should have a talk with him and bring him on board as an assistant.
Vogel new assistant ???
- Thread starter TOMCATS1990
- Start date
Suns owe him 4 years and $25 million. He’s not going anywhere to be an assistant.
They should have fired KD’s washed up ass.
LOL. Ain’t no way he’s ever taking a job as a college assistant.
Some of y’all are flat out delusional.
Some of y’all are flat out delusional.
A nba head coach isn’t coming to college to be a assistant
I’m hearing he’s bringing Phil Jackson with him too
Yeah. Guy that has won a nba title is gonna go to UK to be an assistant to a coach that has 0 ncaa tourney wins n his career at present (will change next March IMO but facts are facts).
Never change Rafters.
Never change Rafters.
He's a scrub. Tainted legacy. Should have stayed in OKC. He would have won a title eventually with all their draft capital. He would be an alltime loved player, and legend in OKC. Like Lebron in Cleveland and MJ in Chicago. But he took the easy way to the warriors. Pitiful. No respect.
He could come back as a video coordinator like he was under Pitino. Full cirlce
Vogel will never leave the pros. I have no idea why he’s always mentioned here. Is there anything out there where he’s even said I’d love college one day or UK?
That roster sucks, they are paying 3 dudes who don’t fit together max money. That payroll alone is 190 million over the tax threshold. It’s unsustainable. I’d trade Beal and get 2-3 picks or decent players, especially defenders. They can’t sign anyone except minimum level veterans right now. No impact players.
Another one to the list. It's going to take awhile until the culture changes off the court.
Do you have inside information or are you and Frank good friends? Or maybe Coach Pope is keeping you in the loop!
None of the above.
I gave my opinion.
You read into it as an absolute.
That's on you.
Whoever built that roster should be fired. They have 3 of virtually the same type player in booker/kd/beal. Booker and kd alone was an odd fit then adding beal was just braindead. Even worse that he's washed.
It was built on the premise that you can’t get enough shooters. They thought they’d overwhelm teams just with their pure scoring prowess. Didn’t work.
They also decided to discard with the notion that you need a point guard …and instead went with a main guard rotation of Booker, Beal, Gordon and Grayson Allen … not a single one having true point skills, all true wings who love to fire up shots. That didn’t work either.
When the new team construct doesn't work the coach is the scapegoat. Probably should have kept Ayton.
UK
How does anyone know what Frank Vogel wants. UK is his alma mater. Vogel might be tired of getting fired by NBA teams and might want to coach as an assistant where he won't have all the pressure of being a head coach.
People here make WAY too much of this. He transferred into UK only because Pitino gave him the chance to serve as a UK manager for a couple seasons …which he thought might open the door to future coaching opportunities.
It ain’t like he has any deep ties to UK. He’s not from the state, he was only here for a short time, and as far as I know, has never been back.
It’s laughably naive to think that’s enough to get a guy in his position to take a college assistant job (especially since he had ZERO college coaching experience at any level).
No coach with a title is ever done. Plus everyone knows he was the scapegoat for the Phoenix Suns shitshow.
Do I think that Vogel would come here as an assistant? No, but like I posted. How does any of us know what anyone else wants
Brad Beal is F’ing trash and always has been.
Guy has accomplished absolutely nothing his entire career and has somehow built the reputation that he’s the 2nd coming of Ray Allen.
I would LITERALLY rather have Mikal Bridges on my team who actually defends well over Brad Beal.
Suns didn’t do shit this year because they gave up all their complimentary pieces to bring in a guy that does nothing outside of what Booker and Durant do extremely well already.
Nothing but a dumbass roster move, replacing Vogel with Budenholzer won’t change a thing.
I mean, in the last 8 years, he has:
4 Missed playoffs
3 First round losses
1 NBA title in the bubble
It's more than a Phoenix issue imo. I do agree that the NBA recycles coaches more than any other professional sport.
Agree Beal sucks. But I stand by my comment that KD is washed, and I’ll add that he’s a whiney bitch too.
Suns should have listened to Barkley. I mean he’s only the greatest player in the history of their franchise.
Yea I think Durant is a good sidekick for Booker at this point and not much more.
The Suns were just a lot closer with Ayton/Bridges than they are with Beal.
