Golden State Warriors fans hoping that Steve Kerr remains on the sideline for another season at least won't be happy to hear this.

A recent report from Monte Poole of NBC Sports casts major doubt on Kerr's future in the Bay Area, as it suggests that he's very likely to walk away from coaching in the coming days or weeks.

Steve Kerr expected to part ways with Warriors

Kerr is expected to meet with Golden State's brass in the near future, and that meeting could spell the end of his Warriors tenure.

"The general belief among the Warriors – openly expressed by Draymond Green – and around the league since the weekend is that Kerr will be comfortably jobless after meeting with Lacob and Dunleavy. Most expect a decision in a matter of days, not weeks," Poole wrote.

"Two sources insist that any change of heart would require, among other factors, Kerr having renewed faith in his role as the franchise shifts toward the future."

This report echoes recent comments from Draymond Green in which he expressed serious doubt about Kerr returning for another season with the Warriors.

“Steph, myself, Steve shared a moment in what could be our last time playing with Steve as our coach. I’m happy we got to share that moment. He didn’t miss the moment. It was a big deal,” Green said. “I hope he’s our coach next year. You want my opinion, I think not just because it just feels like that. It felt like that was it.”
