One source said these meetings have happened over the past several years and were focused on larger projects. A spokesperson for his coaching agency, Priority Sports, declined to comment. — 4/22/2026 Front Office SportsBut I think Steve Kerr’s heart will always be in coaching. 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. — 4/22/2026 San Francisco StandardSteve Kerr's motion offense was a key that unlocked the dynasty, but there has long been friction between his unwillingness to stray from that system and the front office's desire for evolution. During the 2020-21 season, the Warriors tripled the size of their analytics department and pushed Kerr to use the numbers. For a short while during that 39-win year, he tried it out.

The next season, they won the championship. That gave him cover to keep doing things his own way. As the rest of the NBA has caught up with the pace-and-space era, Golden State's style now looks more like a vintage relic. — 4/22/2026 Yahoo!

SportsIf he leaves the Warriors, will it be the start of a Steve Kerr political career? How about clearing up that chaotic California governor’s race? But no, I don’t think Kerr is destined to run for anything like that.

He obviously has a very strong interest in politics, but the chores of hustling for votes, raising money, and dealing with legislatures, lobbyists, and everything else might make a 37-45 season seem like a joy. — 4/22/2026 San Francisco StandardAs of now, there are only two open spots around the league — in Milwaukee and New Orleans — though one or two more coaches might be fired after unsuccessful playoff runs. Either way, a Warriors opening, to coach Curry and work for a free-spending owner like Lacob, would be quite attractive. The most obvious option would be much-loved Warriors former top assistant and interim coach Mike Brown, but he’d have to get fired by the Knicks for that to happen.

Not an impossibility under owner James Dolan, but also not too likely. — 4/22/2026 San Francisco StandardI don’t think Lacob and Dunleavy would be locked into any specific criteria, but I think if it gets past Brown, they’d most likely be interested in a younger, development-minded candidate with some background using analytics. Well-regarded current assistants who could fit that model: Micah Nori (Minnesota), Chris Quinn (Miami), Sean Sweeney (San Antonio), and Johnnie Bryant (Cleveland). Other names, some more realistic than others: Current defensive coordinator Jerry Stackhouse, current offensive coordinator Terry Stotts, Boston assistant Sam Cassel, TV analyst Brent Barry, and my outside-the-envelope candidate … Andre Iguodala. — 4/22/2026 San Francisco StandardJoe Cowley: Talked to someone very close to Steve Kerr and he said the coach has known for weeks he was done.

We’ll see. Could be two Hall of Fame coaches walking this week. Crazy league. — 4/21/2026 x.comObviously a big question for you guys is Steve’s future.

What has he meant for you with your time here?” Gui Santos: “Man, Steve is a special guy for me. He was the coach that gave me my first opportunity to play in the NBA, so that’s a guy who realized a dream for me. He was a big part of it.

And the way that he coaches—you can see, one thing that I always like about guys who were players and now are coaches is that they understand the players very, very well. The fact that he was a player and played a long time in the NBA, being in the NBA for a long time, he really understands everything that players go through. So yeah, I love that.

And like I said, Steve is a really, really special dude for me. I want to be coached by him my whole career if I can.” — 4/21/2026 YouTubeJoe Cowley: The biggest "what if" in the NBA coaching department in the last 15 years - if Steve Kerr would have taken the Knicks job instead of GS - which he almost did - next up for the Warriors was Fred Hoiberg. — 4/21/2026 x.comOne more season. One last chance to prove the Warriors still had the goods to win a couple of playoff series and perhaps even reach the NBA Finals.

That’s all Steve Kerr wanted and believed he could have, according to multiple league sources. Kerr arrived at training camp mentally prepared for the 2025-26 NBA seaso
