The Los Angeles Lakers saw talks with Tyronn Lue go south on Wednesday, and will now interview Frank Vogel for their head coaching job at their practice facility in El Segundo on Thursday, according to Broderick Turner of The L.A. Times.
Vogel is just one of a few names the Lakers will target as part of their second head coaching search, with Lionel Hollins, Mike Woodson, Jason Kidd and Juwan Howard also expected to be considered. Only Kidd and Howard have interviewed previously.
As recently as Monday, Vogel — a former advance scout for the Lakers — was widely considered the favorite to get the lead assistant position under Lue, but it seems now that the team’s negotiations with Lue have flamed out, Vogel will actually be a candidate for the main job.
