Vogel got more wins with less overall talent than Budenholzer. He wasn't perfect but he wasn't the problem, the roster was. The entire makeup of the team. I can only imagine how much better Vogel would have done with a mobile big like Oso or Richards as well as a legit defense pitbull like Dunn. He likely would have got us back to the playoffs and a better record than year 1 of his tenure. Would we have won a championship? No. As I said, he wasn't the problem but he also wasn't the solution. Phil Jackson, Popovich, or Red Auerbach couldn't have led this team to a title though. Vogel was scapegoated. I wasn't a fan of his throughout his time here but didn't realize how much he did until we saw a different coach try a completely different system.
I don't blame Budenholzer for how bad this team was either. Again, he wasn't perfect and did plenty wrong, much more wrong than Vogel however. I would have been fine if he was retained if there were a real plan in place to better the roster for him.
Wear your purple and orange glasses, fine. I don't believe we've made the right moves for the last 3 years and we can go over them but it's looking like its going to get a bit worse before we start trending up.
