Mark Jackson fired by Warriors

[Jack.Kerr]

Steve Kerr to replace Mark Jackson.

Took some stones for Kerr to turn down Phil Jackson, but Golden State is probably a better job than the NYKs.

That said, GSW could be a challenge for any coach, coming off the Jackson firing. Kerr has the advantage of having a previous relationship with owners/management. But I often wonder whether he has the personality to deal with players firmly when required. Then again, he dealt pretty directly with D'Antoni when a change of approach was necessary, so who knows.

Good for him, and good luck to him.
