The Phoenix Suns made a bold move in the offseason to elevate themselves to NBA title contender status, but things didn’t go as planned. After a disappointing first-round playoff exit, the Suns have decided to part ways with head coach Frank Vogel after just one season with the team.
Vogel, who previously won an NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers, was brought in to lead the Suns to glory alongside newly acquired star Bradley Beal. However, injuries and a lack of chemistry derailed the team’s season, leading to their early playoff exit and Vogel’s departure.
Fans have mixed reactions to the news, with some blaming Beal’s performance and others questioning the decision to let go of a talented coach. Vogel’s tenure in Phoenix mirrors his time with the Lakers, where he was also let go after a short stint following a championship win.
Despite the disappointment in Phoenix, Vogel is expected to land on his feet quickly, as he is considered one of the top coaching candidates on the market. With his track record of success and experience, Vogel will likely have no shortage of suitors vying for his services in the near future. Stay tuned for updates on where Vogel lands next in the NBA coaching carousel.
