It came with very, very little surprise that Rob Pelinka’s attempt to describe what he wanted in the next Lakers head coach was littered with examples of what Frank Vogel wasn’t.
As he sat down for his exit interview on Monday, Pelinka and the Lakers were barely an hour removed from “parting ways” with Vogel, though the announcement came as a formality as they had long, long since framed him as the scapegoat for this season and let it be known he would fired at season’s end. Short of having a whiteboard counting down the days until the end of his tenure on display in the practice facility, it could hardly have been more obvious that Vogel was a goner.
