Phil Jackson has a job offer

from the Knicks.

 

Phil Jackson, viewed by some Lakers fans as a future savior of the franchise, has been offered a front-office job by the New York Knicks.

 

Jackson, 68, recently met with Knicks owner James Dolan and planned to make a decision next week, the New York Daily News said, citing an anonymous NBA source.

 

The description of the offer was reportedly "more than just a consulting job."

 

Jackson repeatedly has said he would never coach again, but plenty of Lakers fans want him to return as a consultant to the franchise where he won five championship as a coach before retiring in 2011.

 

Jackson's name would help attract big-name free agents, an apparent problem spot for a franchise that lost Dwight Howard to Houston last summer.

This is done. Good acquisition for the Knicks.
