With that roster they should have been better than barely making the playoffs, period.
George Karl was fired the same season he won the COTY, so not surprising tbh. Especially since he had problems with management.

They didn't barely make it. Plus they were without Bogut.
With the roster the Suns had, they should have made it, Period.
They got in.
Mori Chu with the bads. They pushed a 57-win Clippers team to the edge. If you think they underachieved, you should consider the possibility of committing suicide.
It had nothing to do with his coaching. Sure he sucks, but outside of the top 5 coaches you're really just looking at a bunch of dudes trying to make the fewest ty moves to keep their jobs.
This was about him trying to run his team like a preacher, and refusing to take any advice. Saying re ed things to the media probably didn't help.
Getting bounced in the first round is usually a failure unless you an 8th or 7th seed, or unless your stars are new to the playoffs. Warriors are neither so I call it a failure. Then again Im the Godfather and have high standards
It's like death and taxes. Sooner or later, they're gonna get ya.

Hate to listen to his commenting. He was awful.
This GIF is misleading, Lacob was upset about a dumb pass that Klay made. He just happened to look in Jax's direction, you can see the Dubs fan behind Lacob was pissed about the turnover as well.
Good news, Jackson gof fired. Bad news, he might go back to broadcastinv
It was only a matter of time before Jax was fired. Dude brought religion into the locker room, alienated assistant coaches and consistently resorted to preaching instead of strategy. Dude never had any game-plan whatsoever. The only issue I have with his firing was that I don't really see any great coaches out there as of right now. I don't see the purpose in going after Steve Kerr. Yes, Kerr was a great role player but he hasn't done anything as a coach. Warriors FO must think long and hard of who they want to make the coach going forward. Mike Malone would have been a great coach for the dubs, too bad he's stuck in a ty situation in Sacramento. We'll see what happens...
Clashes with Boss = you shouldn't expect much, no matter what your performance. No shortages of coaches, after all.
The starting five had a great chance to be playing OKC right now had it been complete. When you have Draymond Green running around as your center for a good chunk of a series, it's amazing they were even in it. Jackson doesn't seem very smart, too preachy, and a diva. Those are things to make a team wary of extending him. But he also managed to make his smalls play very well, which is not a guarantee for most coaches. There are coaches who could get more out of the roster, although they probably need to find a new backup center or, as they can't depend on Bogut to stay healthy. But they can easily be worse. PG-lead teams tend to flop in the playoffs.
Just imagine if the Warriors owners were racist... they couldn't fire him. Thank god there's no more racism.
If you have someone who's not going to work for you, get rid of him. You don't necessarily need a better alternative at the moment, but you have to remove him so the team can move forward. The longer he's there the more damage he does.
I can understand your point, but I can't fully agree. I think they do need a better alternative at the moment. While Jax lacked strategy, the players for the most part loved playing for him. That is something that shouldn't be overlooked. If they hire some rookie head coach who doesn't have a proper gameplan, and fails to gain the trust of the players (Like Mark Jackson did), then the Dubs may end up in a worse situation.
Therein lies the problem though; if the players love him they are going to do more to adopt his failing strategy and do less to ever accept a new system, one more conducive to winning a le. It's not about chemistry with the coach, but does the coach have the ability to instill a winning brand of basketball, not just at a regular season level, and does the philosophy of the coach clash with the direction the organization wants to go?
You don't need to bifurcate with "a rookie coach". A seasoned coach might not be a better short term alternative, however you realize you're going in the wrong direction, you have to change directions.
Mark Jackson is a rookie coach, he never coached before going to GS. Jason Kidd is the same thing and look, he's in the 2nd round now. It's about your players and the system you run. Mark and GS aren't a good fit. They might suffer for it for a while, but they were never going to win a ring.
Valid points, DMC.
This is bad news. He'll probably go back to ESPN. I can't take anymore "grown man moves" and "mama there goes that man."
I think Jackson stays away from broadcasting for a while, just from embarrassment alone. I think he gets picked up by some ty Eastern team, maybe as an assistant.
Goddamn, it would be so stupid for the Warriors to hire Steve Kerr.
But not Mike D.
D'antoni would run his starters to the ground and the defense would be . At least most of the Dubs (Outside of David Lee) actually try to play defense, under D'antoni it would be a ing layup line.
