Time to go!!
I'm not saying I want him as a coach on my squad, but he's done some things for that franchise. One thing I don't hear him get credit for which I think is underrated is his ability to develop young talent. Remember how limited klay used to be. Look how much improvement he's made. The job he's done with curry is remarkable. Curry when he first came into the league was looking like a undersized combo guard who made bad decision with th bqll on floor and in clutch moments. He wasnt progressing under Keith smart after transition from being coached by Nellie. He's developed the youngins in GS ( klay, steph, Green, udol) as well anybody could where they are or were big contributors whenever they got in the floor. So in the grand scheme of things, that's the most critical thing you could ask of a coach whose coming into inherit a pretty young team cuz if he doesn't develop steph and klay the way he does then GS is treadmill team at best and then hey abbé to question what direction they have to go from there.
So when u take into consideration he's done a marvelous job at development you have to give him a chanc long term. A lot of coaches with more experince have been brought into the same situation as Jackson ( Westphal,Byron Scott, Maurice cheeks with the pistons, Adelman with the twolves,) and haven't been able to do what does.
Jackson has defined role for his players. He motivates and liberates them with that role. Give them the freedom in that role to flourish. A lot of ppl criticize him and say if thibs or pops had this team but it's unfair to compare him to them cuz he came in with inexperince but his squad has progressed every season where as I said earlier in the post many coaches in the predictament with equal talent on the roster hasn't done as well as him.
The warriors have also develop a defensive culture under mark Jackson too which if u remember nellienera defense wasn't even a thought for the warriors and the solid wasn't too away from when Jackson made his debut.!
