Coach Joerger Talks Upcoming Season

Just over two weeks since his hiring, Kings head coach Dave Joerger joined Yahoo! Sports’ Vertical Podcast with Chris Mannix to discuss his future in Sactown.

“I knew right away,” said Joerger on the swiftness in which he accepted the position. “All the passion of Sacramento – the fans, the community everywhere I went…everybody was looking forward to the future.”

Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins has his eyes set on the squad’s future as well, flying in to town to meet with the newly appointed coach on the day of his press conference.

“We were able to spend some time together and that’s a great way to start the relationship,” shared the team's head coach. “I’m going to push him -- I want him to be great and he wants to be great…Certainly, he wants to win.”
