Frank Vogel to become new Lakers head coach
The Los Angeles Lakers have been searching for a new full-time head coach since Luke Walton left the team last month, and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that Frank Vogul has agreed to sign a three-year deal:
•
Vogel met with Lakers management Thursday and talks escalated quickly toward an offer Saturday to end the franchise's tumultuous coaching process with his hiring, sources said. The Lakers completed the deal Saturday afternoon with Vogel's agent, Lonnie Cooper, who also represents LA Clippers coach Doc Rivers. Jason Kidd has also agreed to a deal to become a prominent assistant coach on Vogel's staff, league sources said.
Wojnarowski's report also notes that Vogel was the third coach to be offered the job, with Monty Williams and Ty Lue both rejecting earlier offers. Vogel has previously spent time as the head coach of the Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic.
