THIS IS THE BEST NEWS WE COULD HOPE FOR: Steve Kerr Returns to Golden State Warriors as Senior Head Coach and New M
In a move that has sent shockwaves of joy through Dub Nation and the broader basketball world, Steve Kerr, the iconic former head coach of the Golden State Warriors, has officially returned to the team in a bold new role: Senior Head Coach and Mentor-in-Chief.
After a brief hiatus from coaching to focus on broadcasting, meditation retreats, and winning ping pong tournaments against Gregg Popovich, Kerr is back—and he’s bringing the fire.
“I missed the noise, the chaos, the Oracle vibes—even though we’re in Chase Center now,” Kerr said with a smile during the Warriors’ surprise press conference this morning. “This is home. And I’ve got unfinished business.”
💥 What Does “Senior Head Coach and Mentor-in-Chief” Mean?
According to Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy Jr., Kerr’s new title is more than ceremonial. The role will combine strategic leadership, player development, and franchise-wide mentoring, including the front office.
“Think of him as Yoda, Phil Jackson, and Ted Lasso rolled into one,” said Dunleavy. “He’s not just drawing up plays. He’s shaping the next decade of Warriors basketball.”
🔥 The Dynamic Coaching Duo: Kerr and the Protégé
Kerr will be working alongside assistant-turned-head-coach-in-training Jamal Jenkins, a rising star in the coaching world. Jenkins, 34, is expected to handle most in-game decisions while Kerr oversees big-picture strategy and spiritual vibes.
“We’re calling it The Dual Dynasty System,” Warriors owner Joe Lacob explained. “Jamal handles the day-to-day. Steve handles the DNA.”

Even rival coaches responded with admiration—and a hint of concern.

🏆 What’s Next?
Insiders say Kerr’s immediate goals are:
- Helping the Warriors develop their next generation of stars

- And—of course—bringing Banner #8 to the Bay
As for Kerr’s long-term vision?
“I want to help the Warriors win—and more importantly, I want to help them remember why we play this game in the first place. Joy, unity, and maybe just a little trash talk.”
