The Golden State Warriors’ coaching staff could look a bit different once the offseason arrives.
According to Ringer’s Logan Murdock, several individuals within the Warriors’ organization expect the team to lose a four-time NBA champion coach after the 2025-26 campaign.
“Though (Steve) Kerr has publicly been mum about his future, multiple assistant coaches have been operating under the premise that he will not return next season, according to team sources, with some surveying the league to secure jobs next season,” Murdock stated last Wednesday.
“Last month, longtime assistant Chris DeMarco left the staff to be the head coach of the WNBA’s New York Liberty.”
It would take a while to get adjusted to a Warriors squad no longer led by Kerr. The former Chicago Bulls guard replaced Mark Jackson at the start of the 2014-15 season and has helped the Warriors win four titles since then.
Questionable rotations and late-game decisions have plagued Kerr lately, but his reputation in the Bay will always be more positive than negative.
Stepping away from the Dubs would probably be the best-case scenario for Kerr after Year 12 at the helm. The Warriors aren’t winning another championship anytime soon, making the idea of remaining with the franchise for an extended period illogical.
It’ll be interesting to see what Kerr elects to do at the end of the year.
