Ah yes, Mark Jackson was such a Christian that he went out and had an affair with an ex stripper.
Mark Jackson was fired because he underperformed, fired his assistants if they didn’t agree with him, and alienated some of his players. Steve Kerr has made all of the right moves and has gotten the most out of his players. He moved Barnes and Green into the starting rotation and benched Igoudala and Lee. Kerr made brilliant moves in the playoffs such as putting Bogut on Tony Allen in the Memphis series. Every Warrior has upped their numbers this year, are playing as a team, and have set a franchise record for wins. Mark Jackson’s offense relied too much on isolation plays. With basically the same team Steve Kerr has managed 16 more wins in a season than Mark Jackson.

Underperformed? He came into a longterm terrible organization, improved every year, and took them to their first back to back playoffs in over 20 years. Kerr did not have to take over the terrible organization in 2011. You can turn around an organization like that overnight.

The major mistake of the Jackson era, was keeping David Lee. Since 2012, I have said they are worse with Lee in there. But I don't think Jackson had the juice to get rid of him. Otherwise, that was a huge mistake to keep starting him.
