Frank Vogel was dismissed by the Los Angeles Lakers after their poor performance in the 2021-22 season. The hunt for a new head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers has been sluggish to start, but it seems to be getting some steam.
Thus, the team has interviewed veteran NBA analyst and former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson has been, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
On the other hand, as per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Lakers have also interviewed ex-Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts.
Mark Jackson and Terry Stotts add to Lakers’ options
Three years with the Golden State Warriors ended with Jackson’s dismissal as head coach in 2014. He has a record of 121-109. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr led the team to the NBA championship the season after Jackson’s dismissal.
With the backing of the Lakers, Jackson may return to his position as head coach. LeBron James would be “extremely excited” if his side hired Jackson, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic.
