Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Golden State fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Despite being one of the most successful coaches in NBA history, Steve Kerr has been a controversial topic among online segments of the Golden State Warriors fanbase ever since he agreed to take the job 12 years ago.
Since then, he’s led the Warriors to four championships, six
NBA Finals appearances, and the greatest regular season in NBA history, while overseeing Steph Curry’s rise from All-Star to all-time great. But there have been quips from the fanbase, mainly about Kerr’s Curry-centric offensive system, and his struggles with developing young, raw talent like Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman.
All good things run their course, and that will happen for Kerr at some point. But will it be this summer? The Warriors coach is about to see his contract expire, and there haven’t been any reports of working on a new contract. Even though there’s occasionally been some tension between Kerr and owner Joe Lacob, the simple fact is that Kerr has an open invite to coach the Warriors for as long as Curry is on the roster. Curry very openly does not want to play for any other coach … but of course, it takes two to tango, and Kerr will have to make the decision.
So we’re asking Warriors fans: do you want to see Kerr return next year? Or would you prefer he call it quits, and the organization can bring in a new face?
