I really like both Vogel and Joerger. The difference between the 2 lies, to me, in their locker rooms. There have been questions with the way Vogel handles his locker room, and we've seen a few issues arise over the years. Joerger was dealing with some unique personalities (Barnes, Tony Allen, Stephenson, Randolph), and was able to manage them very effectively. That's a good sign re: handling our f-Ed up locker room.
This seems strange to me as well. The Kings management and ownership is in such disarray, why would Joerger want to go to another organization with a similar situation? Also Kings new ownership has had a bad rep for their tenure with all their recent coaches.
The Grizzlies were temporarily 5th or 6th in the West while having major injuries to their stars Ultimately still making the playoffs, they had worse luck than the Rockets and more heart. No discussion there. Joerger did a good job, I am sure he isn't a Top 5 coach but I think he should be better than average Vogel or Joerger I am ok with JVG as well, although firing JVG again won't be pretty in the future.
Believe me, shall don't want Joerger. He inherited a team that Hollins created into one of the best defensive teams in the league and he took credit for it all because hollins was nice enough to say that he allowed joerger to handle the defense, his merged into him being the sole creator of it. Hollins at the time looked like a dinosaur, and Joerger looks like an analytical wiz kid. Then when the grizzlies could not get better on offense, which is what he was brought into to do, he blamed the players who wouldn't let him do what he wanted them to do. When the grizzlies we're losing this season by 50 (do you think it was his coaching), no; he went on a monologue about how the grizzlies players were getting older and couldn't play like they used to. The final straw was when he blamed managment for not getting him HIS players, to which chris wallace says that he was intimately involved in the process and when it don't work out he chances his tune public: this happened with Rodney Hood and Jordan Adams, which was basically saying that hey every other franchise I'm working for idiots, I'm not the idiot. He bellyached about hood all year.
