Jacque Vaughn is reportedly "gaining traction" as a candidate for the New Orleans Pelicans' head coaching job.

"I'm not saying he's going to get his job because Charles Lee on the Bucks' staff is also going to be a strong candidate. The word coming out of Chicago at the draft combine is that Jacque Vaughn, who is close to Trajan Langdon... Jacque Vaughn is going to get a real serious look and has interviewed, I believe, with the Pelicans," said Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

Vaughn has been an assistant for the Brooklyn Nets since 2016. He spent three seasons coaching the Orlando Magic between 2012-2015.
