Steve Kerr says his Warriors tenure has an 'expiration date.' After Friday's play-in loss, the coach will take a week to decide whether to return. His contract expires this offseason.

After the Warriors' heartbreaking 111-96 loss to the Suns in the play-in tournament, head coach Steve Kerr made a stunning admission: "These jobs all have an expiration date. There is a run that happens and when the run ends, sometimes it's time for new blood and new ideas." His contract expires at the end of this season, and Kerr says he'll take a week or two to decide whether to continue with Golden State.

The coach's comments signal real doubt about his future with the franchise that he rebuilt into a dynasty. Kerr has led the Warriors to multiple championships but emphasized that "all this stuff has to be aligned and right" and that decisions about his future will involve owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy.

Despite the uncertainty, Kerr did state he wouldn't coach elsewhere in the NBA next season and would never abandon Steph Curry. Still, his reflection on coaching lifecycles suggests this could be the end of an era in Golden State. The basketball world will be watching closely to see what decision Kerr makes in the coming weeks.
