The Steve Kerr era of the Golden State Warriors looks to have run its course.
After the Warriors were eliminated from the NBA Play-In Tournament by the Phoenix Suns, reports quickly surfaced that suggested that Kerr would not return to coaching the team next season.
With his contract having run out, his on-court interaction with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green – who have been instrumental to Golden State’s dynasty over the past decade – also appeared to indicate that their time together had come to an end.
In his post-game press conference following the 111-96 defeat, Kerr cited: “My plan is to take a little time, I don’t know. Take a week or two and eventually sit down and talk with [owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy].
“We’ve always had a great partnership and collaboration and just see where they are. I’ll tell them where I am, and we’ll talk about what’s next for the Warriors, what the plan is this offseason.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen. I still love coaching, but I get it. These jobs all have an expiration date.”
Kerr also stated that he is “definitely not going and coaching somewhere else next year in the NBA” as he doesn’t “want to walk away from Steph.”
Together, Kerr and Curry formed one of the most successful player-coach partnerships in NBA history, winning four championships together between 2015 and 2022, alongside other key players that came and went such as Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala.
Options aplenty for Kerr going forward
That begs the question then: What will Kerr do if he is no longer with the Warriors?
Well, as it stands, all signs appear to be pointing toward the 60-year-old forging a career in sports media.
According to Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel, Kerr has reportedly been meeting with media agents.
However, the report also notes that these meetings have been taking place for several years and were “focused on larger projects.”
But a career in the media wouldn’t be novel to Kerr, with him having briefly taken up some broadcasting roles after he retired as a player, where he won five NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs.
Three of those championships were won with Michael Jordan.
From 2003-07 he served as a commentator for TNT, and returned back to TNT from 2010-14 for coverage of both the NBA and the NCAA Tournament after a short stint as the general manager of the Phoenix Suns.
If Kerr were to go down that avenue, he would be following that of former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who has just struck a deal to join NBC’s coverage of the NFL for their Football Night in America show.
But there is also a possibility that he could look to return to coaching, but at the collegiate level, according to Warriors beat writer Tim Kawakami.
“He could and likely will walk into a big-money TV job whenever he wants it. He could do it for a season and play golf, spend time with his grandchildren, and bliss out for a while. But I think Kerr’s heart will always be in coaching,” Kawakami wrote.
“And I think it was very interesting when he said he wouldn’t leave Curry to coach somebody else, then quickly revised that — “not in the NBA.”
“Could Kerr take a college job at some point? I’ve always heard that going back to Arizona wasn’t out of the question for him, but that school is doing quite fine with Tommy Lloyd right now.”
As for potential replacements in Golden State, should Kerr ultimately walk away, 2015 NBA Finals MVP Iguodala is one of the names that has been linked as has that of experienced veteran Mike Brown.
