In an unexpected and stunning announcement, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has officially submitted his resignation and will be leaving the team after a highly successful tenure. Kerr is set to return to the Dallas Mavericks, taking on the role of team manager as part of a front-office shakeup aimed at revitalizing the franchise.

The End of an Era in Golden State

Steve Kerr, 57, has been at the helm of the Warriors since 2014, guiding the team to:

• Four NBA Championships (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022)

• Five NBA Finals appearances

• A historic 73-win regular season in 2015-16

Kerr’s calm leadership, innovative offensive strategies, and ability to manage superstar egos helped cement Golden State as a modern NBA dynasty.

The Warriors organization released a statement:

“We thank Steve Kerr for his incredible leadership and the legacy he leaves behind. His impact on the Warriors and the NBA is immeasurable. We wish him all the best in his new role with the Dallas Mavericks.”

Why Dallas?

Sources close to Kerr reveal that the opportunity to return to Dallas — where he began his playing career and won a championship — was deeply personal. The Mavericks have undergone significant front-office restructuring, and Kerr’s hiring as team manager signals a new direction focused on blending veteran wisdom with young talent development.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban commented:

“Steve brings championship experience, basketball IQ, and leadership that will be invaluable as we build our next contender. We’re thrilled to welcome him back home.”

What Does the Role Entail?

As team manager, Kerr will oversee basketball operations, player personnel decisions, and long-term strategic planning — working closely with head coach Jason Kidd and general manager Nate Bjorkgren.

This shift from coaching to a front-office executive role reflects Kerr’s desire for a new challenge and to impact the game from a broader perspective.

Reaction Around the NBA

The basketball world is buzzing with reaction:

• Shaquille O’Neal (via X):

“Steve Kerr leaving the Warriors? Crazy! But Dallas got a genius in the front office now.”

• Warriors star Stephen Curry:

“Coach is family. We’ll miss him badly but wish him nothing but success.”

• NBA analyst Doris Burke:

“Kerr’s move signals a shift in how veteran coaches can transition to front-office leadership roles.”

What’s Next for the Warriors?

Golden State is already reportedly interviewing multiple candidates to fill the head coaching vacancy, with names like Mike D’Antoni, Ime Udoka, and Mark Jackson mentioned as potential replacements.

Meanwhile, Dallas fans are optimistic this new addition could usher in a resurgence after recent playoff disappointments.
