There's a chance the Golden State Warriors need a new head coach to replace Steve Kerr.
And there's a chance that they could replace him with Andre Iguodala.
Those chances combined, though, are not particularly high.

But the story from Tim Kawakami that is referenced actually has Kawakami called Iguodala "my outside-the-envelope candidate."
"Well-regarded current assistants who could fit that model: Micah Nori (Minnesota), Chris Quinn (Miami), Sean Sweeney (San Antonio), and Johnnie Bryant (Cleveland)," writes Kawakami in the SF Standard. "Other names, some more realistic than others: Current defensive coordinator Jerry Stackhouse, current offensive coordinator Terry Stotts, assistant Sam Cassel, TV analyst Brent Barry, and my outside-the-envelope candidate … Andre Iguodala."
The chances of Andre Iguodala replacing Steve Kerr are not particularly high, despite circulating rumors.

It's not even a given that Kerr leaves. And if he does, Iguodala is quite far down that list.
To be fair, when an outside-the-box candidate like Iggy starts to trend in a situation like this, there are instances where he could quickly move up the ranks of potential candidates.
But until that actually starts to happen, and that's a big 'if,' Warriors fans don't need to be too excited about potentially seeing Iguodala leading them from the sideline. It's a long shot at the moment.
