Less than two weeks after being fired as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Mark Jackson has already found a new job. Well, to be fair, it’s his old job.
ESPN announced Saturday that Jackson has signed a deal to serve as a broadcaster for the network and return to his previous role. Prior to being hired by Golden State, Jackson was part of the main NBA announcing team along with Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen. The trio will be back in action beginning Sunday calling the conference finals and NBA Finals:
Mama, there goes that man.

Does this mean Jackson is out of the running for NBA coaching jobs? Probably not. He can broadcast for the rest of the playoffs and then look into coaching gigs if he wants. It will just be weird hearing him broadcast games when he was just coaching them a few weeks ago.
