It sounds like GSW management wanted their hand in the cookie jar instead of letting him do his thing. That's moronic considering the results. You think Benson has a problem giving full reins to a coach? Hell no. Look at CSP. Hell, look at MW. That idiot still has a job. Benson wants to win. Jackson would bring those results. He promised to turn them into a top defensive team and he did. Monty promises to focus on defense and we're finishing bottom 5.

Jackson had full reign.

He brought in Scalerbrine as a "Jackson guy" only to feud with him and demote him to the nbdl.

he feuded with mike Malone (another guy chosen by Jackson) and the two would go weeks without speaking.

They had the assistant coach fired for secretly taping coaches' conversations

He also "tried and failed" to land the LAC and the Nets job while still under contract with GS.

Of course his defense was good; he had a bunch of talented defensive players.

Funny how people shun avery Johnson and want this guy. Both inherited great teams but have tons of holes when it comes to managing a team and staff as well as being an actual nba coach.
