I still believe in Jacque. I think in the end, he will be one of the better coaches in the league.

Mark Jackson is not religious nut coach he's a man who loves the Lord, he was a very good NBA coach as well as a elite former NBA player.

Thanks for making that point Dude. Jackson is not a religious nut, but a man who loves the Lord, who protects his players and runs a tight ship!

I gave you an &1 for this post, I agree that Marc Jackson did a great job in GS, but he was still at odds with management......which lead to his departure. I am certain that he is not some religious nut, and he is an Ordained Minister who leads a Church in LA.

I am not sure if he would be the right fit here, should things go bad for JV and he is dismissed.

Marc came from a strong College program at St Johns University along with Danny Ferry and a few other HOF types, and he had a very strict group who molded his coaching/management style and that should help to describe his mindset, especially when you have Jeff Van Gundy, Pat Riley and Larry Bird as your teachers, speaks volumes.

His faith should not be a question, but one can take comfort in knowing that IS who he IS as the person and his players love him! :nod:

Too bad he doesn't love his wife as much as he loves the Lord. He had an affair with a stripper and it led to a messy extortion case. He clearly has ethical issues. Keep Mark Jackson out of Orlando.

OT: you don't understand how evangelicals work. They embrace these weaknesses and turn it into renewed fervor.

But no, I don't mind his faith. I think he'd be the wrong coach two years from now when our young guys are ready to move past the ra-ra stuff and get serious about winning. We'll have missed the window with our young guys when he'd be most effective.

mark jackson is a bad X's and O's coach (jermaine o'neal post-ups ftw). that being said, no thanks

a guy like JVG would be amazing though.

No, that's not how it works.

"8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His word is not in us."--1 John 1:8-9

No Christian walk around believing they are sinless, those who do find out really quick how far they can fall, that is why God forgives. We don't come to God because we know that we are perfect, you fall down to Him because we realize the sinner and wretch people we truly are.

Perfection is not what we try to obtain, a life pleasing to God is what we strive for, and oh my goodness do you fall. But the Apostle Paul said it best: :

"26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified."--1 Corinthians 9:26-27

I quoted you because I just wanted you to understand our perspective.

As for Mark Jackson as coach, I didn't watch GS so I have no idea how he would be for this team.

Having a conversation about the Magic and then religion was brought up and then someone tried to bash it and someone else decided to defend it...yeah, looks that way.

Mark Jackson would be a perfect fit with Orlando, religious owner who hates gays, religious nut coach who loves the lord which means he hates gays as well, perfect fit!

I would be estatic if we ended up with one of the coaches they mentioned. And the inclusion of two of the best scenes of Fresh Prince ever was dope.

I am a long time lurker but I must say that I agree with pretty much everything JR and BS said. I do think our win total is going to be below 30-35. With VO out for a month definitely now
