Minnesota is doing their due diligence on their search, as is evident by this move. They already have two highly qualified candidates interested, one of which reportedly really wants the job, but they want to speak to Jackson anyway.
Not that Jackson isn’t qualified, but given how his tenure with Golden State ended, it would be a surprise to see him get the Minnesota job given the competition.
