Lakers coaching search: Monty Williams not Lakers head coach frontrunner
Los Angeles Lakers coaching job opens as Monty Williams is out
Detroit Pistons fired head coach Monty Williams after one season
The Los Angeles Lakers coaching search took an unexpected turn on Wednesday as the Detroit Pistons reportedly fired head coach Monty Williams after just one disastrous season. Williams had previously been considered the frontrunner for the Lakers job, but his exit from Detroit has opened the door for other candidates.
According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Williams is no longer in the picture for the Lakers head coaching position. This news comes as a surprise, as Williams was widely seen as the favorite to replace Frank Vogel.
