Should the New York Knicks hire free agent head coach Frank Vogel? Here are the pros and cons of that decision.
On Thursday, May 5, the Indiana Pacers created a wonderful opportunity for the New York Knicks to land a premier head coach. Despite leading the Pacers to a half-decade of success, Indiana parted ways with head coach Frank Vogel.
In turn, the NBA teams in need of a leader were granted a rare opportunity to hire a Top 10 head coach.
Vogel led the Pacers to a record of 250-181 during his 431 games with the team. He led Indiana to the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2012, and helped it reach the Conference Finals in both 2013 and 2014.
Indiana won at least 60 percent of its games during three of its five full seasons under Vogel.
Thus, general manager Steve Mills excited the fan base when he reached out to Vogel about the team’s coaching vacancy. There’s no telling how far New York will take the possibility of hiring Vogel, but there is mutual interest.
The question is, what would be the pros and cons of hiring the coveted free agent coach?
