Phil Jackson keen to coach, but no offers

Jackson is currently in L.A., rehabbing from knee replacement surgery. He's also recently had his spine fused and artificial hips inserted, and he’s feeling good physically. But despite his 1,155 career wins and 11 championships, more than any other coach in the history of American pro sports, no one has expressed interest.

"It hurts," a Jackson confidante told Berger. “People need to know he is not dead, and he is not 70.”

Jackson is still a young buck at 66.

I'm hoping he joins the New York Knicks.

For Phil to take on the Knicks, he'd demand a lot more control than the Knicks owner would be prepared to give.

Would love it, but can't see it happening.

I'm secretly hoping the Lakers have another performance like today's in Game 2, they fire Mike Brown, and then prior to Game 3 tip-off at Staples they bring out Jackson in a Lady Gaga-like egg thing and the internet explodes.

In my opinion I would like to see Jackson take a team and build it from scratch. The teams he has coached have Jordan and Kobe coaching the knicks would be a cop out they already have stoudamire and Anthony. If Jackson took over the Bobcats and made them a winner then I would be impressed.

I vote for the egg-thing scenario. Every event planner should have a bracelet saying "What would a Will Ferrell movie character do?"

Shocked MJ hasn't called Jackson bout the bobcats coaching role! Phil helped jordan win a few titles with the bulls so it would be good to see that tandem again!

It's Official Mike Woodson signs as head coach with Knicks. Forget about Phil Jackson going to the Knicks.
