Mark Jackson has agreed to a three-year, $6 million contract to coach the Golden State Warriors.

Jackson, who has no coaching experience, is one more signature hire of new owners Joe Lacob and Peter Gruber. After new executives Jerry West and Bob Myers took over in the Warriors front office, Jackson’s candidacy ascended from a large group of potential head coaches.

The Warriors are dedicated to spending money to hire a strong group of assistant coaches for Jackson, sources said.
