Mark Jackson has done a pretty good job as the Golden State Warriors head coach. The players would love to have him back, but after losing to the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 on Saturday night, it appears that Jackson's time as the team's head coach has come to an end.Per Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, there's no way Jackson is able to return. He reportedly has no support from anyone in the Warriors front office.

It's not like Jackson has done a terrible job coaching, it was the other things involved.

I think the Warriors make a mistake if they fire Jackson, but I guess it's just too many problems with the ownership for him to stay. With that said, expect Jackson to be heading back to the broadcasting booth.
Or, of course, become the head coach of some other NBA team. Let's see if the New York Knicks or Los Angeles Lakers are up for grabs...
