Frank Vogel spent the last year getting paid the full sum of the one-year contract extension he secured less than a year before being fired by the Los Angeles Lakers, but he didn’t wait long after that to take his next coaching gig.

Frank Vogel hired as Suns head coach, could Lakers lose assistant coaches to his staff?
