The New York Knicks are so bad that a celebrity is already getting into some inside information about the team. Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan recently sent out a cryptic tweet about rumors of Mark Jackson eventually becoming the head coach of the Knicks.

If you can recall, Jackson was one of the pool of candidates the Knicks chose from when they made their head coaching search in the 2018 off-season. Now, it looks like he could be headed for the post after all.
Jackson's last coaching gig was in the 2013-14 season, where he was the head coach of the pre-dynasty Golden State Warriors. Jackson led Golden State to two playoff appearances in his three years with the franchise. After losing in the first round of the 2014 playoffs, the Warriors relieved the now-ESPN TV analyst of his responsibilities.
Rumors about the next possible coach of New York have been swirling around ever since team president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry strangely addressed the media expressing their disappointment for the Knicks' season so far.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN suggested that the move to speak out in public laid the grounds for current head coach David Fizdale's eventual dismissal from the team. After starting off his Knicks coaching campaign with a 19-73 record overall, signs are pointing to Fizdale's possible ouster.
It's really a shame that Fizdale is going to be the scapegoat for this continuous disastrous Knicks run. Mills and Perry received a lot of backlash for subtly throwing the coach they inked to a four-year deal beginning last summer under the bus.
It remains to be seen how this never-ending saga in New York will end up. Changes definitely need to be made, and Fizdale might just be the first one to go.
