Mark Jackson

Current Job: ESPN 

Before you start laughing, the last time we saw Mark Jackson he was actually at least somewhat successful with the Golden State Warriors. He may not have been as successful as the Warriors are under Steve Kerr, but let’s also not act like he was a terrible head coach.

And we know that LeBron would OK this move, as there were reports he wanted Jackson to be the Cleveland Cavaliers head coach when they fired David Blatt during his second season back with the club.

The question is, would Jackson be viewed as an upgrade from Lue or Kidd. Lue won a championship, but then again I’m sure many would’ve with the way LeBron performed during that 2016 NBA Finals.
