Tell us specifically how Mark Jackson improved the team in a way that was by any means extraordinary. History has proven him to be a mediocre coach. Steve Kerr has taken the same talent and achieved 25 more wins this season over last. He hasn’t fired a single assistant, he is on the same page as the ownership group, and he hasn’t alienated a single player. Jackson was a B minus coach. Steve Kerr has been an A coach, and with 4 more wins will be A+.

What is it that you have against Jackson?

Are you familiar with the Warriors at all?

They were a bad team for since the 1993-1994 season.

Jackson's first year: 23 wins

Jackson's second year: 47 wins -> More than doubled the amount of wins from the previous year (that's not impressive?) Most wins by the Warriors since 93/94 season - 19 years. 2nd playoff seed in that time

Jackson's third year: 51 wins - Most wins since 91/92 season. 3rd most wins in Warriors history. First time back to back playoffs in 22 years. First time in Warriors history improve over three straight years like that.

So Jackson took a perennial loser and turned them into a back to back playoff team. It's just ignorance to say that didn't lead to where they are today. The organization was broken for years. That is not B minus. Not sure why you are trying to minimize that.
