The Warriors hired Mark Jackson as head coach in June 2011.
After three seasons, Golden State fired him within days of the team's Game 7 loss to the LA Clippers in the first round of the 2014 NBA Playoffs.

Does Jackson agree with the 2015 NBA Finals MVP? He answered that question during a guest appearance on Showtime's "All the Smoke" with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson:
"I'm a guy with tremendous faith. I'm not gonna slit my wrists if I never coach again because I believe what the Bible says -- as far as if you do what you're supposed to do, it's a promise from God that he will not withhold any good thing from you.
"So if I'm not coaching, that means it's not good. As long as I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, I truly believe that the day will come when I have the opportunity to walk the sidelines again and lead a basketball team.
"For three years in Golden State, I had the time of my life impacting players, developing relationships and changing a culture. I truly was blessed to do that and I look forward to the opportunity to do it again.
