ESPN analyst Monica McNutt has come forward with a startling prediction: Steve Kerr's time as Golden State Warriors head coach is all but over. With the team struggling to find its footing this season, sitting at 22-19 and clinging to an eighth-place spot in the Western Conference, speculation about Kerr's future has reached a fever pitch.
McNutt believes that not only will Kerr step down, but Steph Curry may follow him out the door as well. She attributes this to Curry's advanced age – 37 years young – and the reality of minutes management. With an aging core led by Curry, Green, and Butler, the team's ceiling is already being constrained.
Adding to the instability are reports on Jonathan Kuminga's trade request, uneven role definitions, and a general sense of unease that has settled over the team. McNutt suggests that Curry's personal life – including recent wildfires in which his mother lost her property – may also play a role in his decision to leave the team.
Kerr himself has been tight-lipped about his future, but McNutt believes he's essentially "sunsetting" his coaching career with a deal that will take him through the 2025-26 season. The coach's contract timeline aligns with Curry's remaining years under contract, which raises questions about continuity for the team if Kerr were to leave.
But what's often overlooked is that Kerr has already begun exploring other avenues beyond basketball. With several philanthropic commitments and a keen interest in public policy advocacy, media work, and front-office roles, it's clear that retirement – with its associated financial security and freedom – could be an attractive option for the coach in the near future.
Ultimately, McNutt's prediction adds fuel to the fire surrounding the Warriors' uncertain future. As Curry's contract expires, fans will have to wonder whether he'll choose to stay with a new regime or leave in search of greener pastures. One thing is certain: Steve Kerr's time as Golden State head coach may be drawing to a close.

, steve kerr being talked about leaving and curry possibly following him out the door too? like, they've been a powerhouse for years now and it feels like everything is being taken away from them 
. i mean, we all know kerr's been exploring other things outside of basketball, but still... its sad to think that maybe this will be his last season as head coach 
. what if curry does leave? who's gonna lead the team then? it's like they're not even trying to make a push for the playoffs anymore 
. i hope this isnt true, but at the same time, we gotta face reality... kerr might be done 
. if we're being realistic, the team's ceiling is getting limited by age, and kuminga's trade request just adds to the chaos.
. one thing that's for sure, though: the Warriors' future is looking pretty uncertain right now 
...like what if he becomes the next big sports doc? 
ESPN should start calling him Dr.Kerr lol, and Curry can still play for whoever wants him 
...and whats with all this "he's too old" talk? 37 is not that old, hes still got it 
...anyway, I think Kerr needs to take a step back and focus on himself before making any decisions about his future 
kuminga's trade request is wack tho, gotta get him more involved in the team 
Kerr's prob tryna explore new things cuz he's old enough 2 know betta 
. I think Kerr'll stick around 'til his contract runs out and then make a move into one of those front-office roles he's always talked about 
. The Warriors'll find another coach to take over – it's just the way the NBA cookie crumbles 
.
and with kuminga wanting out of there... that's just more reasons to think kerr's gonna be gone soon 
his contract might take him through next season but meanwhile curry's free to leave 
. And Steve Kerr's been doing okay as coach, right? I don't get why he'd wanna give up on it now when they're still in the playoff hunt 
. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next 
.
. And Curry, the superstar player, feeling like he's stuck in a rut with an aging core 
. It's all about supply and demand, folks! The Warriors need a new direction, just like how politicians need fresh faces to stay relevant 
. But what's really at stake here is the future of the team, its fans, and Kerr himself. Is this just a coaching transition or is it a power struggle? And let's not forget Curry's personal life – we're talking about a guy with a massive contract, he's got some leverage 
.
.
. If that's true, then maybe this isn't the end of an era for him just yet 
And what about Jonathan Kuminga's trade request? 
Does he make the money he seems to be making off the Warriors' payroll? 
I'm just lost, tbh. Can someone explain this whole thing to me in simpler terms, please? 
wildfires and all that... can u imagine if curry decides to leave too? 
wouldnt be the same team without him... or would it?? 
. I mean, Kerr's been through tough times before and come out on top, what makes anyone think he's done now? And as for Curry, 37 isn't old by NBA standards - he's still got it in him 
. He's a winner, always has been. And if anyone tries to come after him, Curry will be there to back him up 
. These rumors are just noise, let's keep things in perspective 
. And yeah, Steph Curry is getting older... but come on, he's still a superstar in the league! 
And what's with the rumors about Jonathan Kuminga wanting a trade? Like, can't he just chill for one second?
