You won't hear about the Lakers looking at Frank, if they decide to fire Dantoni. Will the Nets be bringing Frank back, now that they have talent in place? I doubt it.
There must be a reason no team with talent is interested in him. The moment the Pistons knew they were about to add talent, they fired him. Its because he's not a good coach. He's the coach you put in place when you know you have no chance of winning a championship, and just need someone cheap to babysit for a few years.
Maybe because the teams that do have talent, typically don't have a head coach openings.
I never said Frank was a great coach either. Popavich and Phil are great coaches. You could even argue Phil rode his great players. He has 11 rings because he had the luxery of coaching 2 GOATS with stacked teams. Kobe has even said to try and justify hirng Dantoni that the whole time hes had Phil as a coach, not one time did they run defensive drills under him. I just think too often coaches get scapegoat when the GMs don't do enough to the get the talent on the team.
