May 5, 201610 yr @Rachel__Nichols Larry Bird says he and Frank Vogel spoke for about a half hour on the phone this morning, and that Vogel kept asking him to reconsider. @Pacers Larry Bird: "Frank’s not getting fired, his contract is up and I just made the decision not to renew it."
May 5, 201610 yr Didn't see that coming. Vogel had quite a bit of success in Indy. Could be an attractive job.
May 5, 201610 yr Author Rumors are McHale is in line to get that job. Vogel is a really good coach, not a great move for the Pacers IMO. That roster needs a lot of work. Welp, Bird squashed that real quick. @daldridgetnt Bird: Kevin McHale won’t be a candidate: “I would not do that to Kevin, to have him work for me. That’s not fair. I respect him too much."
May 5, 201610 yr I guess technically Bird is right in saying he's not being fired, but it's semantics.
May 5, 201610 yr Bird has been frustrated with the Pacers offense under Vogel. Their offense has finished in the bottom of the league the last 4 seasons under Vogel. Larry Legend has had enough.
May 5, 201610 yr Bird is catching some heat in Indy for this. BTW I'm pretty sure Vogel used to be a video coordinator or something similar at UK under either Pitino or Tubby.

Just speaking in contract terms one has to blame Vogel some for this as well. Should have worked an extension of his contract before now.

So, he's looking for someone he doesn't respect too much?
May 5, 201610 yr Dan Dakich is killing Bird. Dan Dakich @dandakich 2h2 hours ago Bird..Only guy to give Ellis a 4 yr deal. Drafted Miles Plumlee when every single media member begged him to pick Dray Green
May 5, 201610 yr Look at that roster. Truth. Ellis is a model of inconsistency and he is their best offensive threat after George.
