Reports: Mike Brown To Succeed Phil Jackson as Coach of Lakers

Mike Brown is trending on reports that he will be named head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, taking the place of Hall of Famer Phil Jackson, who just retired. Brown coached the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals but was fired in 2010 after failing to win a championship with LeBron James. Brown is getting some preliminary boos and hisses from Lakers fans. EyeCandy2 tweeted: "The Lakers cannot be serious about this Mike Brown head coach situation. Do they really think he can coach Kobe?" No word yet on what Jack Nicholson thinks. Brown has some serious shoes to fill, given Jackson's run of championships. But the bitter end to the Lakers' most recent season buys Brown a little wiggle room, at least until October when the next season gets under way. ;
