It was a rough two seasons for head coach Mike D'Antoni and the Los Angeles Lakers. Expectations were high, but results came up short, way short. In the two seasons as head coach of the Lakers, D'Antoni posted a win-loss record of 67-87 without winning a single playoff series.

Many Lakers fans have showed their displeasure for coach D'Antoni by booing him during games and calling for owner Jim Buss to fire him during the season. Former Lakers Hall of Fame point guard, and part time Dodgers owner, Magic Johnson immediately took to Twitter to voice his opinion.

The Lakers may have got rid of a coach that wasn't very popular, didn't stress defense, and even saved money, but the reality is the Lakers are far from being an elite basketball team. Which brings up the next question--who will coach the Lakers next season?

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers plan on interviewing Steve Kerr, Jeff Van Gundy, Kurt Rambis, and Byron Scott. The Lakers also plan on talking to college coaches such as John Calipari and Kevin Ollie.

Steve Kerr had a great career playing for multiple teams, winning five NBA championships. But does he have what it takes to coach an NBA team? Kerr has never coached an NBA or college team, but he's a very popular player who grew up in Los Angeles. The Knicks have shown great interest, because of the ties to Phil Jackson, so it's unlikely the Lakers will choose Kerr.

Jeff Van Gundy definitely makes an interesting choice. Van Gundy is a proven coach that led the Knicks to the 1999 NBA Championship as a No. 8 seed. Van Gundy is 430-318 as a head coach in the NBA and put together three winning records in four season with the Houston Rockets. There's only one problem, Van Gundy hasn't coached since 2007. He's currently a broadcaster for ESPN and there's no signs that point to his return to the NBA.

Current Lakers assistant coach, Kurt Rambis is a former Laker player and coach. He coached the team back in 1999 during the lockout season for just 37 games going 24-13. Rambis isn't exactly Pat Riley or Phil Jackson, but he does have experience and he knows the Lakers franchise. Getting a deal done with Rambis would be simple and easy compared to other candidates. Byron Scott is definitely an option for the purple and gold. Scott has been coaching since 2001 and is most famous for leading the New Jersey Nets to consecutive NBA Finals. He also played 12 seasons for the Lakers.

Then there's the college coaches.

John Calipari has been a phenomenal head coach in college, making three NCAAB Championships, winning one. It's unlikely he would leave Kentucky because his job security is so high and his team is good. His three seasons in the NBA with the Nets in the late '90s didn't go so well either. Kevin Ollie could be a possibility. He played 14 seasons in the NBA and has a lot of basketball experience. He recently led Connecticut to the 2014 National Championship.
