"They don't know "ANYTHING" about drilling" You don't know Jack means you don't know "sh*t" or "squat" or "anything" about the subject. Hope this helped.

"Jack" like Mike and John was such a common name back in history that everybody knew "Jack" (or A Jack, somebody named Jack"). To says "you don't know Jack, means you don't know anything (even the most common or basic things you could know about something)
