A recent claim suggesting Mark Jackson has rejoined the Warriors as head coach, with Steve Kerr stepping down to assistant, comes from an unverified site and lacks backup from trusted outlets. There’s no corroboration from reputable media.
- In reality, Jackson is not back with the Warriors. After being fired in 2014, he returned to ESPN as an NBA analyst—not as a member of the coaching staff.
- Warner’s longtime head coach Steve Kerr remains in charge and recently passed Al Attles as the winningest coach in franchise history.
- Hired in June 2011, Jackson guided a historically struggling Warriors franchise to consecutive playoff appearances—something the team hadn’t achieved in decades.
- He laid the defensive foundation and helped develop stars like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green.
- Despite this, internal tensions and concerns about team dynamics led to his dismissal in May 2014.
- Steve Kerr then assumed the head coaching role for the 2014–15 season, quickly propelling the team to its first NBA championship in 40 years
Jackson went back to broadcasting with ESPN after leaving the Warriors.
- He hasn’t coached in the NBA since 2014, though he’s received endorsements for future jobs—most recently, from Rick Pitino and Shaquille O’Neal for the head coach opening with the New York Knicks.
