The Ethan Carter PodcastThoughts on the Phoenix Suns Hiring Frank Vogel as Head CoachI’ll link some tweets and articles in regard to the Vogel hiring. I did a quick podcast on the hire and the Suns’ outlook moving forward. The Suns gave Vogel a five-year deal worth $31 million, per Shams Charania of Stadium. This comes after they fired Monty Williams and he got a $78.5 million deal to become the next head coach of the Detroit Pistons. Vogel resembles Joe Gatto: https://twitter.com/jsandiegoo/status/1664671659196809222Great article by Kellan Olson: https://arizonasports.com/story/3524596/frank-vogel-sets-tone-for-suns-makeover-steps-toward-1st-title/ Vogel’s terrific defensive history: https://twitter.com/Ge...
