Phil Jackson is the most overrated head coach of all-time. Is he smart? Yes. Is he a great coach? Yes. Look at the guy's resume he took over Doug Collins in Chicago in 1990 after the Bulls lost to the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals and Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant were ready to help an in his prime Michael Jordan. He won 6 titles in 8 years and was a good coach. 
Then, lets Dell Harris develop Kobe Bryant and when they lose to Utah in 1999 go and with two of the top 5 players in the NBA Shaq and Kobe wins 3 titles in a row 2001-2003. He coaches 2004 a terrible chemistry team with Shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone, Gary Payton and Derek Fisher of all people bails out the 04 Lakers against the Spurs before losing to the Pistons in the Finals.

Phil leaves LA because of Kobe's attitude writes a book destroying Kobe and watches the Lakers rebuild before Chris Wallace gift wrapped them Pau Gasol in December 2007 and the Lakers make the Finals the next 3 years in 08-10 and win the last two with Odom, Gasol, Bynum, and Kobe. He leaves AGAIN because he doesn't want to rebuild and now gets overpaid by James Dolan to do a job he has never done and expects premiere FAs to kiss his rings a la Luca Brasie.

You to kiss the FAs/star players asses. New York was getting better under Donnie Walsh and then Dolan messed things up. Jackson has a lot to prove.
