    FRANK, they sent us home. They why you was looking for a job Frank 😭

  2. Frank_Vogel

    Goodbye Laker Nation!!! I’ll miss ya’lll 💜💛 Thanks for the ride

    Good for Frank. Happy for him to showcase his ability. Can’t wait for him to treat lakers games like their game 7 of the nba finals 😂

  4. nottherealstanlee

    I gotta be honest, this seems like a mistake and I love Frank, but I dont see how that personnel is going to mesh with his defensive mindset.

    However, good for him. I’m happy he’s getting this opportunity and I hope I’m wrong (except when they play us).

  5. logicatch

    I’m happy he got another job, I wish him well whenever they’re not playing the Lakers!

    Dan Woike on Twitter seems to think Vogel might go after some of our current assistants? https://twitter.com/DanWoikeSports/status/1664670732255653888?s=20

    EDIT:
    >Phil Handy, development coach/assistant Jon Pastorek and video coordinator Dru Anthrop all were retained after Vogel’s dismissal and are obviously names to watch as Vogel assembles his staff. South Bay Lakers coach Miles Simon also worked with Vogel

  6. Intelligent-Sell-642

    Avery Bradley rejoicing as we speak

  7. california-whiskey

    damn was hoping theyd hire that fraud doc rivers

  8. Danny_III

    That Westbrook trade looking more and more disastrous

  9. squawkera1

    Good gig for Frank. Hope their front office does him less dirty than ours did.

  10. elxhapo

    I love franks defensive schemes but he is kind of the reason they thought we needed to trade for Westbrook we can blame rob or lebron(I guess) but frank didn’t have us playing like a championship team in 2021 good coach just not a great offensive mind.

  11. PM_ME_UR__UPVOTE

    That’s a smart hire. He will thrive there.

  12. kai_123

    He deserves this. All the best coach Vogel!

  13. Stauvenhagian

    The ducking head coach musical chairs is the stupidest shit ever.

    Oh our couch lacks the ability to make decisions in tough situations, manage players and the clock. Let’s replace him with someone who had the same problem on a different team. You really think he’s better than Monty?

    No dog in the fight but seems like a head coach is the worst and best job security in the game .

  14. BabyYodasFather

    Good for Frank, but they need to retool that teams defense this off-season to fit his system better

  15. dawgoooooooo

    Stoked for frank, interesting fit but I was always a huge fan of his. He’s probably worked on his deficiencies since taking a break and I hope he has a ton of success on a year where it’s clear we don’t have a shot

  16. PresentArea6919

    Frank was not the problem with the Lakers. The team just straight up sucked.

    Happy for Frank. We gonna whoop phx ass tho.

  17. Seniormeows

    Great job Frank, miss you and hoping the best for you.

  18. aginglifter

    Yikes. The Suns just shot their foot off. Frank is a terrible fit for that team.

  19. GetSchwifty1326

    Hope he wins all his games except against the lakers 💜💛💜💛

  20. craigp5986

    Maybe we’ll stop getting those stupid “Would Frank be a better coach than Ham?” posts finally, now that he’s hired by the Suns.

    Good for Frank though, happy for the man, he’s a good dude and a great coach

  21. FrenzyTotems

    All of the sudden, 2020 championship will “count” now 😆😆

  22. lasereater

    Congrats to Vogel… however… a dagger to my heart😭😭😭

  23. foodstamps99

    Can’t wait for how insufferable this sub will be when phoenix starts to win games.

  24. subzero12320931

    Good for him. Lakers did him dirty with that team that year. Best of luck.

  25. MambaJiren

    Championship coach. Good for him!! If they buy in, they’ll be the best team in the league. Vogel is a winner.

  26. litlegoblinjr

    Frank is going to be a great coach for them

  27. downgoesbatman

    Ah fuck. He’s gonna make them a contender

  28. john2557

    Just wait, next game Mike Malone gonna be complaining about everyone talking about Vogel getting hired and not about his Nuggets.

  29. corybekem

    If he gets the suns playing defense it’s a wrap. I almost think he’d be better suited to coach the pre trade suns with cam and mikal

  30. kindtdp1

    Happy for Frank. He is a good coach and will instill the defensive presence into the Suns. They’ll be a scary team.

  31. Irrichc

    Good for Frank. They prob figured they are already good on offense so why not just hire someone defensively. It could work, cause Suns were terrible defensively.

  32. nykezztv

    That’s a steal. Lakers should had never let him go. WB made him look bad. Suns are now contenders in my eyes

  33. SweatlordFlyBoi

    Good for him. Wish we still had him instead of that scrub Ham. Vogel is a better coach than we deserve honestly.

  34. diamondisunbreakable

    NOOOO FRANK NOT THE SUNS 😭😭😭
