New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown named among potential candidates to replace Steve Kerr as head coach of the Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n

The Golden State Warriors<\/a> are likely to have a new head coach next season, with Steve Kerr<\/a> expected to end his tenure<\/a> with the franchise after 12 seasons.<\/p>\n

Tim Kawakami of The San Francisco Standard<\/a> listed various names that the Warriors could potentially be interested in to replace their long-time head coach, among which is the current New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown.<\/p>\n

“The most obvious option would be much-loved Warriors former top assistant and interim coach Mike Brown<\/a>,” Kawakami writes. “But he\u2019d have to get fired by the Knicks for that to happen. Not an impossibility under owner James Dolan, but also not too likely.”<\/p>\n

Kawakami went on to name a couple more options that the Warriors could look at.<\/p>\n

“Also, I think the Warriors might love to talk to Jordi Fern\u00e1ndez if he wasn\u2019t already set up in Brooklyn,” he noted.<\/p>\n

“And I\u2019ve previously mentioned Florida coach Todd Golden, who many in the sport believe is destined to land an NBA job within a few years and who might round out what could be a top tier of potential post-Kerr candidates.”<\/p>\n

Although if talks with the previously mentioned coaches don’t develop, they would most likely consider less experienced coaches, with a former Warriors player named as a shocking potential option.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think Lacob and Dunleavy would be locked into any specific criteria, but I think if it gets past Brown, they\u2019d most likely be interested in a younger, development-minded candidate with some background using analytics,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“Well-regarded current assistants who could fit that model: Micah Nori (Minnesota), Chris Quinn (Miami), Sean Sweeney (San Antonio), and Johnnie Bryant (Cleveland).”<\/p>\n

“Other names, some more realistic than others: Current defensive coordinator Jerry Stackhouse, current offensive coordinator Terry Stotts, Boston assistant Sam Cassell, TV analyst Brent Barry, and my outside-the-envelope candidate \u2026 Andre Iguodala,” he added.<\/p>\n
