Steve Kerr is in the final year of his current contract with the Golden State Warriors. The veteran coach has led the franchise to four championships during his tenure on the sidelines. He’s also begun to nurture some of the team’s younger talent, making the best of the two-timeline strategy the front office has clearly been in favor of.
However, there has been little sign of movement on a potential contract extension for Kerr. It’s worth noting that Kerr is usually private on these matters, so a lack of movement doesn’t mean a lack of discussion is happening behind the scenes.
During a recent interview with Logan Murdock of The Ringer, Kerr admitted that he would like to continue in his role as head coach beyond the current season.
“I want to be back,” Kerr said. “I’ve made that clear every time I’ve been asked about it. The only thing I won’t talk about is just any detail of contract stuff, but I’ve been very open. I want to come back. Joe [Lacob has] told me he wants me back, so I think I’ll be back.”
