Frank Vogel Didn’t Beg Larry Bird For His Job

When Larry Bird explained why he let Frank Vogel go, he thought it would be a great time to say Frank begged for his job.

It has been a few weeks since then but finally Vogel has responded to the assertion that he was groveling before Bird to stay as the Indiana Pacers head coach.

Frank said he didn’t beg to stay when he talked on The Dan Dakich Show earlier this week.

“I was OK with that. Larry’s going to speak his mind. A lot of people talked to me about it who didn’t like that and it’s probably an inaccurate perception that I was begging him to stay.
