The Golden State Warriors’ coaching landscape may undergo significant changes as the offseason approaches, suggesting the potential departure of head coach Steve Kerr, a four-time NBA champion. According to Logan Murdock of The Ringer, sources within the organization indicate that many in the coaching staff anticipate Kerr will not return after the current season. This speculation arises despite Kerr’s public silence regarding his future.
Assistant coaches reportedly are preparing for the possibility of their positions changing, with some exploring opportunities elsewhere in the league. This follows the recent exit of longtime assistant Chris DeMarco, who took on the head coaching role for the WNBA’s New York Liberty.
The prospect of a Warriors team no longer led by Kerr, who took the reins in the 2014-15 season and guided the franchise to four championships, is a notable shift. While Kerr has faced criticism over questionable decision-making and rotations in recent matches, his legacy in the Bay Area remains largely positive and impactful.
Considering the Warriors’ current trajectory, it may be prudent for Kerr to explore new opportunities after 12 years at the helm. With the team’s chances of winning another championship appearing slim, a change could serve both Kerr and the organization well. As the season nears its conclusion, all eyes will be on Kerr’s decision-making process for the future.
