Steve Kerr breaks silence on 2-year contract with Warriors

The veteran coach has compiled a 604-353 regular-season record and a 104-48 playoff record across 12 seasons with the franchise. His system, centered on pace, spacing and ball movement, helped reshape offensive philosophies throughout the league.

Warriors reaffirm commitment to Steve Kerr despite difficult 2025-26 season

The extension arrives following a difficult 2025-26 season for Golden State. The Warriors finished 37-45 and were eliminated in the Play-In Tournament, though the organization remained publicly supportive of Kerr amid injuries and roster instability throughout the year.

Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. also praised Kerr after news of the extension became public.

“We’re thrilled that Steve’s tenure with the Warriors will continue. His impact on our franchise has been enormous, well beyond the championships and incredible on-court success. The character and leadership that he exudes each day helps set the tone for what we hope our franchise represents both now and in the future.”

The agreement provides stability for a franchise entering an important stretch as Curry approaches the later stages of his career. Questions had surfaced about Kerr’s long-term future following the Warriors’ early postseason exit, particularly after reports suggested he could consider stepping away after more than a decade with the organization.

Instead, Golden State has reaffirmed its commitment to continuity, keeping one of the league’s most accomplished coaches in place for at least two more seasons.
