The New Orleans Pelicans have hired former Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley as their next head coach.

Mosley reportedly signed a five-year deal with the Pelicans.

The Magic fired Mosley on May 4 and New Orleans made the hire exactly two weeks later. Mosley led Orlando to three straight playoff appearances, but three straight first round exits and was fired one day after losing to Detroit in Game 7.

Mosley finished with a 189-221 record record in five seasons in Orlando.
