While Steve Kerr is set to return as head coach, the Golden State Warriors’ coaching staff will reportedly have some new faces on the sideline for the 2026-27 season.
According to Anthony Slater of ESPN, two of Kerr’s top assistants will leave the Bay Area during the offseason. With their contracts expiring, Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse will exit the franchise, per Slater. Both Stotts and Stackhouse are interested in pursuing head coaching positions, per Slater.

Stotts, the longtime head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, has been a head coach in the NBA for 13 seasons. Along with Portland, Stotts led the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks. Stotts has spent the last two seasons on Kerr’s staff as an assistant. Stotts’ former post, head coach of the Trail Blazers, is currently open.
Stackhouse played 18 seasons in the NBA before joining the coaching ranks after his playing days were over. He initially coached as an assistant with the Toronto Raptors and Memphis Grizzlies, along with being the head coach of the Raptors 905 G League team. Stackhouse went on to be the head coach of Vanderbilt at the college level for five seasons. Stackhouse spent the last two seasons as an assistant with the Warriors.
After locking down Kerr on a new two-year contract, the Warriors will now need to search for some assistant coaches to fill out his staff.
